Welcome to archived live stream exploring session for Beware the Cat by William Baldwin. It was live streamed on Robert Crighton's private YouTube channel, but not officially added to the podcast, during the opening of the 2020 plague and, beyond a few minor tweaks, remains as streamed. It's a First Look, so it's rough as such things are, and obviously we've come a long way since then.
This second part begins midway through the First Oration of Master Streamer.
Following our live reading in 2023, an adaptation of the book is rehearsing now, planning to tour later this year. If you'd like to be kept up to speed with developments, join the Beware the Cat mailing list.
If you're interested in the show coming to your area, get in touch here.
The audio recording of our live adaptation from the Revels season is available now - but it isn't on the pod for the moment. It can be listened to by signing up for free to our Patreon - it won't be released on the podcast as per usual so as not to give away too easily a future production.

Surprise pod drop! Yes, we're embedded in a production of Lady Rachel Fane's Household Masque, performing this Saturday (8th March 2025) at Boston Manor House. We're helping archive the rehearsal process and the performance, and hope to do a more detailed BTS episode further down the line. This is a quick pop up episode, recorded during the first day of rehearsals on Wednesday 5th March 2025, featuring Alison Findley, Tamsin Lewis of Passamezzo, and some of the cast. Tickets for the show available here ! Find out more about Passamezzo here! To celebrate International Women’ Day, Boston Manor House, a Jacobean house built in 1623 by Lady Mary Reade will be home to a staging of Rachel Fane’s ‘May Masque’ directed by Alison Findlay and Tamsin Lewis of Passamezzo. The performance at 7.30 is preceded by refreshments, music and craft making starting at 6.30 pm. As far as we know, this is the first performance of the entertainment that Rachel Fane (1613-1680) wrote for her family in 1627, featuring them as performers and named members of the audience at the family home Apethorpe Hall. Fane’s teenage, hand-bound manuscript is held at the Kent Archive Office (Maidstone). Experts Marion O’Connor and Erin Julian will imitate those family members who watched and mentored Fane’s original production. Boston Manor House is an ideal place to stage an entertainment designed to show learning because its owner, Lady Mary Reade took care to display her own learning in the plasterwork of the drawing room.
