In Envy of the Night

An enthralling narrative of witchcraft in court intrigues, domestic terrorism and foreign policy in Tudor and Jacobean England. In an age when the boundary between science and sorcery is fluid, we recall aspects of the dealings of polymath alchemist Dr John Dee, illuminated with readings from contemporary correspondence, as well as sonnets and speeches from Shakespeare's Macbeth and The Tempest, and illustrated with music by Byrd, Gibbons, Farnaby, Lawes, Tomkins, incl. our unique re-imagining of the haunting ballad The Three Ravens and the masque song In Envy of the Night.
