The Emperor Constantine

In 1951, Sayers wrote a play called The Emperor Constantine. Though it was only performed two times (interrupted by the death of King George VI), it was a hit among "the common man" and the educated. In this episode, Lindsey will talk about what made the play so enjoyable, both for Sayers herself and her audience. And if you've ever imagined what the dialogue between Arius and Athanasius sounded like, there's something in here for you, too. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lindsey-scholl/message
