Episode notes

Oklahoma! star Patrick Vaill, who’s starring as Dr Brenner in the new stage production of Stranger Things - The First Shadow, joins us to discuss everything from the upside down.

We review Alice Birch’s adaptation of Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, starring Dame Harriet Walter and Isis Hainsworth, directed by Rebecca Frecknall.

And for our second review it’s Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer at the Orange Tree theatre in Richmond. This is a Christmas set version of the play, but is it a festive treat or a load of baubles?

We discuss A Mirror coming to the West End in 2024, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s comments about more investment needed for British shows, and we ask you what your first memory of theatre is. Let us know at [email protected].
