They shoot but calm words, folded vp in smoke,
To make a faithless error in your ears.”

The Radio Play

Originally released on Radio Shakespeare Lab, January 21, 2021. Each track is a scene from King John, voiced by actors from across the country and includes sound effects and original music. The act and scene breaks are based on the 1623 Folio.

“Grief fills the room up of my absent child:
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
Then, have I reason to be fond of grief.”
— Constance, King John, 3.3
