We all love going to the theatre, whether it’s a light-hearted musical or a deep thought-provoking drama. But the term theatre encompasses so much more… From Ancient Greece to modern day West End, every civilisation has (or had) some form of theatre performance and each is quite unique.In this episode we are joined by Dr Kate Foy to discuss the history of theatre, the various associated customs and the many experiences to be had.
