Back Stage: Leicester's Little Theatre Podcast

A look at the work of Leicester's Little Theatre... on stage, behind the scenes and running the theatre. Nearing its 100th anniversary, Leicester's Little Theatre produces over 15 plays each year and hosts numerous visiting productions from both local societies and national companies.

If you are interested in watching live theatre in Leicestershire, or would like to get involved both on or backstage, this podcast should give you an idea of the range of performance theatre that The Little produces.
