    Oliver Mackwood: Producer

    This week I’m thrilled to be sharing a brand new episode with the fantastic Oliver Mackwood. Oliver is a Theatre Producer with a huge passion for the arts and sharing stories.
    During the episode I finally learnt all about what being a Producer really is, we chatted about the importance of theatre and what it can do for people, and Oliver told me all about what and who inspires him. I really enjoyed finding out more about the life of a Producer, I hope you enjoy the episode too!

    Orlando Gough: Composer

    Orlando Gough: Composer

    I’m really excited to share this brand new episode with a hugely talented Composer, Orlando Gough! Orlando’s incredible skill and his craft is beautiful to behold, he really is a musical genius. I had a blast finding out more about him during this episode; his endless enthusiasm means that I could happily sit and chat to him for hours on end.
    We talked about his childhood trips to Chichester Festival Theatre; the beautiful crow language that he made up for a show that we worked on together; and his friend’s wisdom of seeing past work as compost for future endeavours. This episode was a real treat to record, I hope that you enjoy it!

    Tristan Bernays: Playwright

    Tristan Bernays: Playwright

    This week’s guest is a brilliantly talented Playwright, Tristan Bernays! I have been an admirer of Tristan’s work ever since seeing his incredible plays, including Teddy at the Southwark Playhouse and Boudica at the Globe. During the episode we chatted all about inspiration (and lack of, during the pandemic); his routine when it comes to writing; and he admits a faux pas that literally made me gasp. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and chat to him, and I hope you really enjoy the episode.
    Check out his website to see more about his work: www.tristanbernays.com

It's a whistle-stop tour through my career in theatre so far, my rambly thoughts and some great memories. I hope you enjoy this special bonus episode!

    Rosheen McNamee: Prop Maker and Supervisor

    Rosheen McNamee: Prop Maker and Supervisor

    My guest for today’s episode was a real delight to chat to, so open and super enthusiastic about her work and the theatre world. She is an incredibly talented Prop Maker and Supervisor…it’s none other than Rosheen McNamee! From a childhood dreaming of being a servant (!) to making a fully guttable, skinnable rabbit she has got many a story to tell. Rosheen shared a really powerful story about what theatre has done for her as a person, which I think is just so inspiring and really shows the power and importance of what we do.

    SJ Ledbury: Company Stage Manager

    SJ Ledbury: Company Stage Manager

    This week I am delighted to introduce you to a wonderful human being and Company Stage Manager extraordinaire, SJ Ledbury! Coming from a very theatrical childhood, she vowed that she absolutely did not want to work in theatre…but against all odds she couldn’t stay away! The passion in which she speaks about her job is just an absolute joy to hear, and I could honestly listen to her speak about it for hours on end. She took me by surprise with a very unexpected (but brilliant) piece of advice for people who work in theatre, you’ll have to have a listen to hear that gem…

Wonderful to hear about the areas of theatre you normally don’t. Funny and often emotional- love the letters part!
