When we got asked if we would like to record a podcast with a theatre company based in Kyiv, Ukraine, well, you don't say no to that do you! So we tasked our reveiwer Dave Bushe with the task of making it happen, and that was how, on Boxing Day, he found himself on Zoom with Pro English Theatre, direct from their theatre which they have now rebranded as the Art Shelter, a theatre turned into a bomb shelter housing local elderly people, parents with kids and 8 cats. It really is quite remarkable that they could find the time to chat.

We talk about what they are doing right now, hosting a Christmas party, and how they worked with Finborough Theatre to put on shows both in London and then Kyiv itself. 

Considering the situation the recording went remarkably well, except for one drop out in the middle where we thought we'd lost them for good, although thankfully it was just an internet glitch, and then as you will hear, the ending drops out suddenly just as we are saying our farewells.
