No Script: The Podcast

Themed Month is here! Join Jackson and Jacob as they explore four "classic" plays. First up, William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," also titled "What You Will." Sometimes referred to as Shakespeare's perfect comedy, "Twelfth Night" is a love-triangle-romantic-comedy with a heavy dose of disguise, mistaken identity (twins are involved, of course), and dramatic irony. Listen in!

Thanks so much for listening! We’ll see you next week.

What happens when the music you love is also tangled up with the history you’re trying to forget? Lauren Yee’s play "Cambodian Rock Band" follows a father and daughter as they return to Cambodia, confronting the ghosts of the Khmer Rouge regime, and the choices made so long ago. Oh, and there’s a live rock concert happening along the way.

Jackson and Jacob dig into Yee’s wildly theatrical collision of history, music, memory, and family. Join us for the conversation!

What happens when a community built on inclusivity, empathy, and (especially) consensus suddenly has to make a decision that not everyone can agree on?

In Jonathan Spector’s Eureka Day, the progressive parents and administrators of a Berkeley private school find themselves facing a mumps outbreak—and a seemingly simple question about vaccination quickly becomes anything but simple. This week on No Script, Jackson and Jacob chat about Spector’s sharply funny, deeply uncomfortable play. Listen in!
