Today's episode is pure evil!
We are looking at the top 5 Musical Theatre Villains. My guest today is director, performer and community theatre favourite Hannah Barn whilst she took a break from her latest project, Tarzan with Canterbury Theatre Guild. Be warned that because we are discussing villains, we will be discussing their contribution to the plot and their eventual demise which means there will be spoilers a-plenty.
