Meryl Streep, no less, is in it as the nation’s beloved actor, Catherine Staunch, who becomes a political rival as democracy starts to rear its beautiful head. Lynne plays JoJo, a former princess cursed to live as a crow. McKinnon plays Queen Mortuana of the Night Realm, a typical fairy tale evil queen, albeit with a foul mouth and a sex dungeon, who is warned by a soothsayer that a peasant rebellion is imminent. It is often very funny, like an 18-rated version of Radio 4’s Elvenquest, albeit without a studio audience.
This Audible series is written by and stars the reliably hilarious Kate McKinnon and her sister, Emily Lynne.
