#Review: Willy Witches, Bread and Roses Theatre ★★★

"A witty, outrageous comedy that uncovers the lost history of the English Witch Trials. It guarantees a good laugh and plenty of penis jokes."

I should add that Pure Cinema Podcast does have its own Bluesky account @purecinemapod.bsky.social which I failed to mention on the original post.

I am excelling myself in populating my timeline this week, a trend that won’t last. One podcast I find invaluable and entertaining is Pure Cinema from @newbeverly.bsky.social. It’s one audio delight I look forward to.

Enjoy.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Theatre, from its first orator, remains an active mine allowing the passage of time to loiter with intent. A prompter and constant agitator on which free speech remains bravely, stubbornly and inclusively common to the senses of humanity. Resilient and precise, tame and unleashed but never silent.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

If you see any being under heat duress, document it with photos and video, and do what you need to do to bring relief from suffering. Then call your local animal shelter or law enforcement. Don't wait; be smart. N #dogs #cats #heat #besmart #bekind
