Matilda: Still as good when we grew up

Matilda: Still as good when we grew up

Happy New Year everyone, for the first episode of 2024 we look at Tim Minchin and Denis Kelly's adaption of a beloved children's book talking about the witty and smart lyrics that have changed meaning over time, to how being British is integral to the peace and our first experiences with this musical.
