For this episode, Red is joined by Mat Osman, best known as the bassist and a founding member of the English rock band Suede.
But even as their ninth studio album, Autofiction, continues to achieve worldwide success, Mat is also making a name for himself in the world of literary fiction. His second novel, The Ghost Theatre, is a gripping historical fantasy that is set in London in 1601 among a troupe of child actors forced to perform under Queen Elizabeth I’s royal warrant.
Join Mat and Red as they discuss this spellbinding tale of double lives and the beguiling effect of performance on both the audience and players.
