Ep76 狂人、记忆和“吃人的人”

This is another English version of ITR. I am joined by Chris to talk about Diary of a Mad_Man, adapted by Facing the gap Youth Theatre, and A Real Story of Ah-Q, written by Chris and Performed by Jian Xue Theatre Co-operative.

Chris is a British playwright for children and young people and an outstanding practitioner and theorist of educational theatre and drama. We became colleagues and soon became friends since 2009. He is one of those people with an incredible energy and focus but also one of the few people who I feel I could depend on, intellectually, artistically, and personally. I learn constantly from talking to him and our conversations were one of the main forces to keep me on.
