179. The Best Plays Of The Century Part Six: the years 2010/11
About this episode
Sarah and Alex discuss the best plays of the years 2010/11, focusing on themes of climate catastrophe and the success of the Royal Court.
We've hit the 2010s! Sarah and Alex continue their odyssey through the top plays of the century, which in this episode has two central themes: plays about climate catastrophe and the gargantuan success of the Royal Court under Dominic Cooke. At the same time, playwrights like Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and Alice Birch are entering the mix... while Laura Wade correctly predicts Partygate a decade early. And James Corden brings some cheer with One Man, Two Guvnors. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
