Everyone has heard of Shakespeare, but what was going on in the world of drama a century before the height of the Elizabethan Stage? What could the subjects of Henry VII go and see? Why might Ali from the Rex Factor podcast have another reason to dislike St Dunstan? How did community theatre traumatise at least two kings? Who were the most dramatic monks?
