Two wenches with a Podcast

Two wenches with a Podcast

written, directed, performed, staged, cast… you get the idea.. by creative Partners Maya Le Roux, Bianca Waechter and Derya Celikkol

“WE can talk about ourselves! No one's has ever done that before!” Medieval wenches and roommates, Bertegilde and Nortburga, have the revolutionary idea of starting a podcast, sparked by their general frustration of..ya know..being peasants... and women… in the Dark Ages. Tune into their podcast and follow them on their journey of self discovery and meet some interesting characters like Bogdana the local business woman (aka witch) along the ride. Fingers crossed they don’t get burned at the stake for being heathens before their debut.
