😈With our upcoming Wyrd Revels, why not get in the mood with this discussion of Horror in early English drama with Dr Rebekah King. And on Friday we will also drop our live recording of Faustus to Faustus, which tees up our upcoming Doctor Faustus shows. #drama #theatre audioboom.com/posts/874911...
