We’re here, we’re here, we’re really here! We look back at what was up in Dramaland in September, and look forward to what’s coming up in October 2019.

Paroma was away scoping out our spiritual home, the Yak Cafe (a real place!), so we invited our good friend and Dramabeans’ writer Helen to join us. She brings along fresh opinions, a fresh accent, and a lot of insight into the vagaries of Dramaland.
