Episode 19
The Woods is poetry on the stage. Okay, so all plays are poetry on the stage, but this one even more so. Inhabiting an American woodland and also a British kitchen, our protagonist 'The Woman' is continually haunted by 'The Wolf,' an evil figure who may be her son that was, or an abusive partner, or her inner psyche, or the outside world, or probably all of these rolled into one.
It's really good.
As promised in the episode, you can find Nancy's dubbed over cameo in a Phoebe Waller-Bridge interview here: https://youtu.be/D3mmqLVi_QQ?t=243
