This is the first of two episodes about the GEES Project's film of The Concealed Fancies (which you can find on YouTube or by clicking a link at geesproject.com), a play written by Jane Cavendish and Elizabeth Brackley, née Cavendish, during the English Civil Wars with an induction by Paul Hopkins to move the action from the Cavendish sisters’ house arrest during wartime to the confinement we experienced with the Covid pandemic.
Paul Hopkins, producer Prof. Deanne Williams and music director John Edwards sat down to discuss the genesis and execution of our film and what they learned about the Cavendish sisters and their play.
Our film and this chat were supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Killam Trust, York University’s Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies and many individual donors who you can read about in the credits of our film.
