Episode 57 - Nelly Kelly (Part 1‪)‬ Persistent and Nasty

In today’s episode Elaine and Louise chat to the wonderful Scottish playwright, performer & dramaturg Nelly Kelly. This is part 1 of 2 as we chatted about so many things and covered various topics. It’s a fun filled episode but also discussing very important issues. Just a wee trigger warning as there is the mention of words associated with sexual assault. Its about 55 mins into the podcast.
