Romeo & Her Sister

Dramatized historical
This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Romeo & Her Sister

Dramatized historical
Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.
Here's the last note we made on Apr 06, 2026, which may nor may not be helpful: Binge-ready limited series (no more story episodes will be added, and no additional seasons are not planned, but are possible)

A historical audio drama limited series based on the life of Charlotte Cushman produced by Gather by the Ghost Light.

Old resentments between the sisters surface as Charlotte struggles to balance her exploding career, her tumultuous relationship with writer Matilda Hays, and her affair with another young woman, all while keeping her personal life hidden from her fans, her sister, and her bitter rival, Edwin Forrest.

Written by Jillian Blevins. Starring Anna Demetriou, Charlotte McBurney, Paris S. Pringle, Kezia Burrows, Jonathan Cook, Devora Wilde, & Neil Hellegers. Directed and Sound Design by Jonathan Cook.

Submitter notes

Charlotte Cushman was the most famous actress in the world in the 1800's and her story remains unfamiliar to many people. She was a lesbian and she kept it hidden for many years so as not to ruin her reputation at the time.
