A staged reading of Joanna Baillie’s 1798 comedy THE TRYAL. The text has been modified for the stage: it has been shortened but there is also a scene added to clarify the plot. This reading brings to life a text Baillie was unable to produce in her own day.

Musical Interlude: Here's another long-form video to play while you're doing something else, and it's another Berlioz symphony. This was written at the encouragement of Paganini and is based on a poem by Lord Byron, so it's got crazy Romantic cred.

The four movements depict various scenes in Italy witnessed by Byron's Childe Harold: A scene in the mountains, a march of pilgrims, a serenade by a mountaineer, and finally, an orgy of bandits. (Hey, it's Berlioz AND Byron, what do you expect?)

"Harold en Italie," composed by Hector Berlioz, performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Mary Shelley writes Frankenstein, as she, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John William Polidori are looking for something to do while trapped indoors on a rainy afternoon.

Hilarious comedy sketch by the always excellent Eleanor Morton (with Christian Brighty).

Musical Interlude: Let me wisk you off to the concert hall, where we'll hear the overture to the opera "Euryanthe," which is almost never performed as while the music is good, the libretto blows.

"Euryanthe Overture," composed by Carl Maria von Weber, performed by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, conducted by Daniel Smith.

Good to remember her. As to a critical assessment of her impact on contemporary writers, it's hard to improve on the great Eleanor Morton's take:
