Short audio plays from the Talisman Theatre
Here at the Talisman we want to keep Theatre alive during these difficult times. So whether you’re relaxing after work or trying to fill your days, we offer the chance to take a little break, sit down with a cuppa (or a glass of something) and enjoy a short audio play. Each weekend we’ll post a new short play.
