Script in Hand Podcast
A podcast for theatre lovers, where two friends and theatre directors delve into plays and talk text. Each week we read, discuss and dissect a new play script. We lust over punctuation choices, pull characters intentions apart, and generally try our darnedest not to pronounce anything incorrectly. Hosted by Lexie Ward & Meg Robinson.

"Which play would you like to see adapted as a radio play/musical?" and "Which play would you like to see made in the Muppet Universe?" Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.

We Know Now Snowmen Exist by Michael Spencer
It's our final play of season 4! And in a bid to keep it seasonal, we're covering WE KNOW NOW SNOWMEN EXIST, a play with buckets of snow AND a snowman....(and a horror edge inspired by a creepy urban myth, but that's okay right?) A play that tries to answer the age old question of just what is a horseradish; and why would a group of young women feel the need to cut their way out of a tent when the exit is right there? Is it because just maybe...snowmen exist? With special guest playwright Mic...
