    Big Give Christmas Appeal

    In this special episode, Emma (Rice) and Simon (Baker) talk about this year's Big Give Christmas Appeal. This year, we are trying to raise funds to help us offer high-quality training and pathways into careers backstage for people from all backgrounds. Simon takes us back to where it all started for him.  In the late 1980s, Feltham Green (by the duck pond), The London Bubble Theatre came to town and ran a series of workshops...   Emma explains what we are hoping achieve this year with our training programmes - if only we can raise the money in time!

    The Training Programme

    It’s early August, and the Wise Children Training Programme team is wrapping up the final week of three week-long training residencies at The Lucky Chance in Frome. Over the lunch break on the very last day, Emma grabs her fluffy mic and sits down with Ian Ross, John Leader, Helen Comerford, Katy (Mary) Owen, Riddell Elridge and Laura Keefe to reflect on what these vibrant weeks have meant — for the company, the trainees, and the future of theatre-making (and teaching the practice of Emma and Wise Children). Behind-the-scenes insights, big laughs, and a glimpse into how Wise Children is reimagining training for the next generation of artists.

    North By Northwest - with Katy Owen

    NXNW Episode 2  In this episode we dive into the magic, mayhem, and magnificent theatricality of North by Northwest—Emma’s latest production. How do you take a classic Hitchcock film, famous for its high-octane chases, iconic suspense, and cinematic flair, and transform it into a breathtaking piece of live theatre? Joining Emma for this episode is the inimitable Katy Owen—a longtime Wise Children collaborator and a master of mischief on stage. Together, they unpack the creative process behind adapting this cinematic masterpiece, the joys and challenges of bringing its larger-than-life moments to the stage, and what audiences can expect from this thrilling new production.  Katy is joined by a large cinnamon bun - you'll have to listen... Also, Emma talks to sound designer and composer Simon Baker as the York Minster bells ring out on a Sunday morning.  Remember to like and subscribe!

    The One For Frome FM

    To celebrate our 2nd year of The Little Match Girl at our home, The Lucky Chance, we teamed up with our local community radio station Frome FM to create a special one-off programme.0. This one's a little different to our regular podcasts as it assumes that you know nothing about Wise Children or even theatre!  So it's a very good place to start.  Hosted by Emma Rice with Simon Baker and features music from Wuthering Heights, Blue Beard, and Romantics Anonymous.
