Episode 97 - A Focus on Sleeping Beauty

This week some familiar voices return to the podcast as Robert Marsden and Marie Cowieson join Martin to talk about Sleeping Beauty.

Rob and Mairi discuss the different ways in which they and others have approached the pantomime and the way the pantomime is forever evolving in line with the changing attitudes of the audience.
