The Dale Hurst Writing Show | 52. Cypriot Gothic

In time for spooky season, it’s our annual trip into the horror genre. Or rather, on this occasion, the gothic. Specifically the part of gothic that centres around Cypriot folklore. For this, we look into the defining text, Motherwitch, a film by our first guest — writer, director and filmmaker Minos Papas.

However, this is a two-part special, with the second half examining the role of the actor in the storytelling process, archetypal characters in the horror genre, and more, in the company of Motherwitch cast member Jordan Walters.
