New Athens Players Podcast

by

This is the podcast companion to the New Athens Players, a theater company in the Quad Cities — the home of Susan Glaspell and her husband George Cram Cook. The two of them founded the Provincetown Players, a cutting-edge and influential group in the development of American drama. The name “New Athens” is based on a remark Cook made to Floyd Dell, that they should go back to Davenport and make it a “New Athens.” The dream was never fulfilled in his lifetime: Cook died in Greece in 1924. This podcast will include audio recordings related to the legacy of Glaspell and the Provincetown Players.
