We’re all dealing with the monotony of quarantine in our own special ways. Some of us are taking up new hobbies, like crocheting. Some of us are watching a lot of movies and TV. Some of us are drinking heavily. Black Midi are out here performing radio plays.

To be more specific: Black Midi, the weirdo experimental math-rock quartet from London, delivered a reading of The Beggar And The King, the early 20th century one-act play by Winthrop Parkhurst, on NTS Radio today. Somehow, this makes sense for Black Midi? Listen below.

For the next 20 minutes on ch1, London math rock heroes @bmblackmidi perform a reading of "The Beggar and the King", a one-act play by Winthrop Parkhurst. You read that correctly: https://t.co/OqHFPMgaVp pic.twitter.com/QodxuVK6yU
