Amsterdam by Maya Arad Yasur

Who should pay a gas bill for a flat no-one was living in at the time of the usage?  Who gets to tell the stories of history? And should Lexie & Meg go to Eurovision in 2023?
 
We're delighted to welcome a special guest to our podcasting couch today to help us with answering all these questions- Matthew Xia! Artistic Director of Actors Touring Company and the director of the UK Premiere of this week's play AMSTERDAM at the Orange Tree Theatre.

Please note this play and episode does deal with the Holocaust and discussions around the event take place throughout the episode.

Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
