Episode 12 - The Taill of Rauf Coilyear Is It Funny?

    • Artes escénicas

It's Yuletide so I'm getting medieval on you! Yes, it's the medieval Scots tale of the coal-maker who meets King Charlemagne and despite making some questionable choices due to his testy temper, things turn out pretty well. Bonus of me reading the opening lines in genuine medieval Scots (no comment on the veracity of my pronunciation though). I'm glad to share this charming Yuletide tale with you and I think you'll agree it's delightful. The Taill of Rauf Coilyear may surprise you with its appeal for modern audiences. Hmmm, maybe I should work on that screenplay...
