Summary
New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with writer Ishbel Addyman about the legendary Cyrano de Bergerac and the play that continues to carry on his legacy. And much to our delight, it turns out the historical Cyrano de Bergerac is just as lovely and beloved as the fictional Cyrano. Which Ishbel shares in great detail from her research writing a biography about the man himself. Afterwards, Patreon subscribers can revisit the board with Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Not part of the Patreon family yet? Click below and join us!
