There are times when the stars align: when a beautiful series of events leads to the culmination of something absolutely marvellous. Often, however, this is not the case... Meet Broken Bird, the rambling, interactive storytellers, and follow the on their journeys every week as they charge through the realms of language, theatre, and history with all the grace of an ice skating platypus, accompanied by their nameless pet tortoise and an assortment of guests ranging from the holier-than-thou to the devil-may-care.
With Laurence Ashcroft and Thomas Jancis. Produced by Farokh Soltani.
