Spoilers: Gammer Gurton's Needle (Act 1) Welcome to this spoilery introduction to the play Gammer Gurton's Needle by Mr S. We present a run down of the action, with commentary and clips, followed by a plain text recording of material in the edit for the final full cast audio adaptation (coming soon!) Today it's Act One (feel free to go back to the prologue if you want to work chronologically), which sets up the primary thrust of the action of the play, the loss of Gammer Gurton's needle.  The plain text version is performed by Heydn McCabe as Diccon the Bedlam, Geir Madland as Hodge, Gillian Horgan as Tib, Sarah Golding as Gammer Gurton and Simon Nader as Cock.. The host is Robert Crighton. BE WARNED - If you just want to listen to the play as a play, don't listen to the spoilers episodes. Come back later, or don't listen. However, if you find early drama hard to follow, then you will get a good grounding in the action here - especially as we may make changes or cuts for our final version! The plain text
