Postscript | Marie Antoinette
Watch on WITF TV and the PBS Video app, then listen in as Beth Cappello, WITF’s Project Manager, and PBS Drama fan, Christina Zeiders, WITF’s Communications Specialist, talk about the new PBS show, Marie Antoinette. They’ll recap and react to each episode, explore stand-out moments that piqued their curiosities, and invite you to share the pieces you wonder and love about the show.
Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette is just a teenager when she leaves Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. At Versailles, under the complex rules of the French court, she suffers from not being able to live her life the way she wants, under pressure to continue the Bourbon line and secure the Franco-Austrian alliance.
Hosts
Christina Zeiders is a lover of French food. To channel a French mindset for Marie Antoinette, she’s increased her intake of crêpes, brioche, baguettes and croissants (which blend French and Austrian baking techniques). She first learned about the Marquis de Lafayette from the Broadway musical Hamilton, and about Marie Antoinette from Sophie Coppola’s 2006 film starring Kirsten Dunst. She prepared properly for Postscript by watching Lucy Worsley’s Royal Myths & Secrets: Marie Antoinette: The Doomed Queen on the PBS app.
She apologizes in advance for the crimes against the French language she will undoubtably commit while recording this season of Postscript. She wanted to take French in high school, but her mom talked her into taking Spanish.
Beth Cappello is excited to dive into the world of Versailles for Marie Antoinette. She can’t wait to see how far they explore the timeline and is excited to learn more about the histories from behind- the-scenes research and by watching the show.
