It's our final play of season 4! And in a bid to keep it seasonal, we're covering WE KNOW NOW SNOWMEN EXIST, a play with buckets of snow AND a snowman....(and a horror edge inspired by a creepy urban myth, but that's okay right?)
A play that tries to answer the age old question of just what is a horseradish; and why would a group of young women feel the need to cut their way out of a tent when the exit is right there? Is it because just maybe...snowmen exist? With special guest playwright Michael Spencer.

Ever wonder what the radioactive spider bite of a playwright could be? We think we may have a superhero/star origin story for Michaela Cole in her play Chewing Gum Dreams. Meg & Lexie debate what makes someone the heroine in a one person show - Plus what song does make the best accompaniment to a teenage make out session?

Whisper it...but we may have finally found a comedy Meg and Lexie agree on! What happens when the playwright self describes their work as "Chekhov in a blender"? Well we're about to find out as we discuss Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang! We're also going to talk brand recognition (does anyone not know who Snow White is?) and condom marketing - yes this episode really does have it all!

Ooh do we have a treat in store for you Scripties! After discussing The Funeral Director on episode 4 of this series we are over the moon to be bringing you this very special interval interview episode of the pod, with the playwright herself, Iman Qureshi.

Please be aware that in the pay there is one scene in which a baby is prepared for burial, and we discuss that on today's episode with Iman between 28.20-30.45

The fates already know what we say in this episode...but unless you are a ye olde Greecian soothsayer and weave maker, you will probably still to listen. Your family life is already pretty complicated when your parents are also mother and son; so Tig already has a world of drama to deal with before her uncle Creo forbids her from covering her dead brother to pay respect. Throw in some pop culture references from Lexie & Meg, (Top Model, Black Mirror, and much more) and the podcast is set for some epic tragic conflict in this modernised adaptation of Antigone.

We're revving up our motorcycles (though perhaps that's not the most appropriate form of transport given what happens in this play), and gearing up to talk about The History Boys by Alan Bennett. Voted Britains Favourite Play of all time (it beat Macbeth, Meg is furious), we're ready to dive into what makes a character an anti-hero, how many boys are too many boys -and just how do women fare in The History Boys?
NB This episode does discuss sensitive topics including the groping of older school aged boys.

Reasons you should love this episode are numerous, but number one on the list has to be that we had the playwright herself Amy Trigg join us to talk all about her award winning play! With Kazoos, Oxo Cubes, sparkly sleeves and DnD, this play has everything - and you are forewarned there will be a full Lexie/Amy nerd out over Dungeons and Dragons whilst Meg looks on amused. Join us as we join Juno who is making her way through her 20s in a relatable haphazard manner.
