In this episode I talk theatre criticism's past and future with Megan Vaughan and Catherine Love.

In this episode I go in search of right-wing theatre and try to trace out a little history of how and why the theatre might have a left-wing bias. I then talk about conservatism in the theatre with Kate Maltby. Finally, I interview Paul Miller, artistic director of the Orange Tree, looking back at his time there so far and previewing the new season.
