Are You More Squeamish Than A Shakespearean?

Update: 2021-12-20

Description

English teacher Mrs Steele gives Greg and Bella a lesson about just how gross life was in Shakespeare's day.

Greg and Bella will work out if they could survive a day in Elizabethan London; hear about the crazy ideas that informed early medicine and their unlikely cures; find out how women's health was treated differently and see how all these ideas played out in the theatre of the day.

Bad students of all ages are welcome. Expect brilliant teachers, captivating subjects but absolutely no homework.
