Lend Us Your Ears

Associate Artist Actors, Stephanie McGregor & Alan Steele, join us to chat all things "performance" at Bard in the Botanics. How did the addition of a stripey jumper unlock an entire character? What show allowed Steph to be "sexy", "strong" and just a little bit "dominatrix"? And why on earth didn't Alan have his "beaver" on in Hamlet? Just some of the important questions you'll find the answers to this week!
