Mini ep: Why are there so many Theatre Royals?!

Have you ever found yourself wondering "sorry but why is there like 50 theatre royals what is going on with that please?" Or have you ever lowkey (highkey) felt like UK society seems to take straight plays way more seriously as an art form than musical theatre and wondered why that is? How surprised would you be if I said the answer to both is the same, and it starts with civil war? Every day is a school day huns, so give me 5 minutes of your time and you'll know a little more about UK Theatre History! And if you listen closely you'll even hear a little nugget of news about what's going into Drury Lane when Frozen takes its final bow later this year.
