In this episode, I spoke to Laura Crow about her brand new play, Vile, a play about Lady Jane Rochford, wife to George Boleyn and sister-in-law to Queen Anne Boleyn. In her play, Laura hopes to challenge some well known myths about Jane. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Laura and learning about her play. I hope some of my listeners can attend the preview on the 28th of June! Thank you to Laura for taking the time to come on!
