We’ve reached episode three of House of Revels and the funkily named “Anglo-Saxon Liturgical Drama”! In this episode Olivia and Mingma explore the complicated relationship between the Anglo-Saxon Christian Church and theatre; they hated theatre and then they loved theatre and then they were theatre. We chat about how theatre disappeared and then reappeared after the Romans left Britain and Olivia gets very excited about a German nun aka. the first female playwright.
