Votm #14 BEAM 2023 Special

Something a little different for this episode – a roving report on day two of BEAM 2023, the industry showcase featuring extracts from a host of new musicals. This year BEAM took place at the Oxford Playhouse, and I spoke to a number of participants, organisers and presenters about their experience.

Some of the audio is sometimes affected by wind noise, as it was a beautifully sunny day and I wanted to capture interviews outside on the pavement. A rookie error, but I hope you can still make out the content clearly.

The BEAM interviews are preceded by Darren Clark, who talks to us about his desert island musical.
