Aphra Behn meets Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Pioneering Playwrights)

It’s time to get physical, metaphysical! As we delve into the lives of  poetess and playwright,  Aphra Behn, and comedy supernova,  Phoebe Waller Bridge. With their bawdy humour and licentious attitudes, these two set the London theatre scenes of the 17th and 21st centuries alight. But we’re not just comparing them for their raunchy repartee OHH NO! This pair are also connected to the world of spies. We promise you this episode will have been worth the wait!
