Este mes traemos una descacharrante y original historia en torno a los tiempos de William Shakespeare. Una musical que llevaban rondando los hermanos Wayne y Karey Kirkpatrick desde los años 90, pero no fue hasta 2010 cuando conocieron a John O’Farrell, uno de los principales guionistas de la serie humorística de televisión “Spitting images”, que se unieron para darle forma al guión y estrenar en Broadway el 22 de Abril de 2015. El musical es un homenaje al teatro, al musical y a William Shakespeare, que además de una pegadiza partitura y unas coreografías inspiradísimas, cuenta con un divertido enredo que fantasea con la figura del legendario escritor inglés y el hipotético nacimiento del teatro musical, que los amantes del género disfrutan como el regalo que es para los aficionados a la escena y al musical. La versión que escucharemos en el podcast es la del Broadway Cast que tiene a Brian d'Arcy James (Nick Botom), John Cariani (Nigel Bottom), Christian Borle (William Shakespeare), Heidi Blickenstaff (Bea), Brad Oscar (Nostradamus), Kate Reinders (Portia) y Brooks Ashmanskas (Hermano Jeremiah).

We're back. Episode two has followed on from episode one as if we planned it like that. In this episode, Prue and Steve talk about what they have been up to over the past fortnight (Steve saw one of his plays produced, Prue has been hanging out with Jane Horrocks and Jim Cartwright). They are then joined by writer, broadcaster, playwright, author and former child actor John O'Farrell to discuss his career, how he came up with the idea of turning John Major grey in "Spitting Image", his upcoming work and how he ended up being involved in a musical on Broadway. Steve then gets to review an actual play as he went to see "Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons" at the King's Arms Theatre in Salford. Prue went on a separate night to save them agreeing on everything before the recording and they are joined by actor Julie Root to discuss what they thought. Julie once taught Doctor Who and Queen Cersei drama at school. We hardly mention it. We then finish with a load of thank yous and how you can get in touch.
