In this episode we talk with featured playwright and horror movie aficianado Rosa Nagle about experimental theatre, poetry with dialogue, a nice slice of sanguinaccio, and the perfect park in which to stage plays.

Then we listen to an excerpt of her family epic Ghost Stories, which is itself a short play called Blood Cake. A woman sorts through the recordings of her thoughts, her life and personal history, which she had to disguise behind Shakespeare monologues. Also there is a recipe for pig's blood pastries, her taking her grandson away from her daughter and the family estrangement that results, and her own dark childhood secrets. Just... there's a lot going on here!
