Gary Owen’s unforgettable ‘Iphigenia in Splott’ is released as a Student Edition this month from @methuendrama.bsky.social, with a fascinating intro by @lucycmmjackson.bsky.social. It’s extra special to have this play - a blistering aria against austerity on a mythic scale - as part of the series.

For no particular reason, the change from a Franciscan to an Augustinian Pope has reminded me of the line in Frasier when Niles stands in for him in his show.
