  • ANNOUNCEMENT!

    We’ve been running for over two and a half years, and goodness has it been amazing! It has been wonderful to work with colleagues and friends, old and new, and in the process create some fantastic plays.

    Life is getting more busy for all the creatives at Theatrephonic, and we believe that it is time for a change in the way we do things. Therefore, we are going on a bit of a hiatus while we take some time to look at our options for the future of the podcast.

    We very much hope to return as some point soon, and in the meantime, we want to give a massive thank you to all our creatives and listeners for the support and love you have given us over the years. You have no idea how much it has meant to all of us.

    Have a fantastic 2023, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
