East coast round 2!

We talk aliens, village gossip, and the strange prescience of this play written in 1973 about 1907 when being read in 2025.

FAIRYTALE UPDATE:

I have searched and can find nothing substantial about this fairytale or why it is the birth of drama in children. If anyone has any ideas please get in touch.

Have some feedback? A play you'd like us to cover?
