Join me tonight as we tread the boards of the Victorian stage and learn what it was like for actors, directors, and writers as they navigated a world that didn't yet appreciate their gifts. We will experience a revolution that was started with song and dance, watch as theatre fires consume the streets of London, learn about Victorian special effects, lighting, and set design, and meet some interesting characters along the way!
The Devil's Dinner Hour is written, edited, produced, and hosted by Evelyn James
Music: David Fesilyan, David Renda & Sergei Chetvertnykh
