The Best of the WeekSt. Genesius Episode 1 (The Saints: Adventures of Faith and Courage)Rome, 303 AD. Emperor Diocletian struggles to unite a crumbling empire.

Christians are forced to gather in secret, under threat of imprisonment and execution. This persecution, along with Emperor Diocletian’s upcoming visit to Rome, presents an opportunity for two up and coming actors to make a name for themselves. This is the story of the patron saint of actors, St. Genesius.

We give you first a touching family Christmas story, "Christmas at Red Butte," by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables. Next, a Christmas meditation by Charles Dickens, entitled "A Christmas Tree." In this piece, the author of "A Christmas Carol" offers, instead of a story, a set of reminiscences about the meaning of Christmas past as he contemplates life-long celebrations of presents and toys, books, and stories both silly and serious — including a long section on ghost stories — and of course, as "A Christmas Carol" itself reminds us, telling ghos...

Like many poets before and after, however, he also turned his hand to poetic drama, somewhat in the vein of Shakespeare. Although some works of this kind by poets like Byron, Shelley, and Keats, were closet dramas, not meant to be staged, the majority of Tennyson's were indeed staged, and staged quite successfully. One of his shorter verse dramas, The...

Genesius Guild Radio ProductionsFOG (O'Neill) and ENEMIES (Hapgood / Boyce)In 1915, two Davenport, Iowa, natives, Susan Glaspell and George Cram Cook, started a theater group in Provincetown on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which turned out to have a profound influence on American drama forever. This visionary new company, the “Provincetown Players,” had humble beginnings in the private home of some sympathetic friends: Neith Boyce and Hutchins Hapgood. Many of the Provincetown shows featured a number of short scripts presented together in a single night of performance, and this program follows that tradition.

Genesius Guild has repeatedly staged two favorites over the years, "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" (most recently in 2001), and "Don Juan in Hell" (most recently in 2012). The little play "How He Lied to Her Husband" was a parody-version of a longer play of Shaw's that had caused a sensation and a scandal: "Candida." Just as the guardians of morals suspected might happen in real life, in Shaw's short piece he imagines a love affair...
