The Play Podcast - 010 - Albion - by Mike Bartlett

Episode 010: Albion by Mike Bartlett Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Victoria Hamilton and Nicholas Rowe Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play, which we talk about it in more depth than you will find in the reviews of any one production. We’ll discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Mike Bartlett's major new play Albion is a funny and moving portrait of an individual family coping with grief and life's big challenges, as well as a reflection on issues consuming the nation at the height of the Brexit debate. Joining us to review the reverberations of this rich play are the two leading players in its recent Almeida production: Victoria Hamilton and Nicholas Rowe.
