Episode 27 We welcome a Special Guest

07/24/20 • 46 min

We are still in lockdown, well mostly, so we present another special and yes eagle eyed listeners will notice that Episode 26 appears to have gone missing in action but in truth we started production on that a few weeks ago and couldn't get logistics sorted so Episode 27 it is!
We review all of the current news theatrical and beyond with regard to the current crisis, discuss how we are going to get back to normality and we are delighted to welcome as our Special Guest Alistair Woodgate of Green Room Productions to talk about the impact lockdown has had on amateur theatre and the prospects going forwards.
