We're donning our ruff collars, grabbing our poison bottles and heading off to the balconies of Verona. In this episode we decide that Shakespeare was the first Anti-Spoiler writer, and that actually Romeo and Juliet is a riproaring comedy that has been entirely misrepresented over the years!
Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
