    Episode 51 - Harriet Waterhouse

    Nearly 3 weeks after the Camden Fringe finished we're back for a little bit of reflection on this years festival. Our guest interview is with Harriet Waterhouse who performed her debut solo show Sex Chat Granny at the Etcetera Theatre on the 5, 6 and 11 August as part of the Camden Fringe. Following her performances we caught up with her to find out how it went. More info on the show Sex Chat Granny and team behind it can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/sexchatgran. Keep an eye on this account for future performances. As Zena speculated in the recording, there is indeed a show about the Brenda Line which is called The Brenda Line and is by Harry Mould.

    Episode 49 - Musketeer Productions

    Another mid-Camden Fringe episode and we are beginning to lose our minds. I tell you who'd have something to say about that: Sigmund Freud. So it's very appropriate we are talking to 3 of the creatives behind A Series of Introductory Lectures On Psychoanalysis: The Musical which plays at the Camden Fringe on the 20th - 24th of August 2024 at the Kings Head. Alex Rawnsley is the writer, Harriet Gill is the director and Isobel Connolly is the musical director of this new musical and we have a great chat with them and include a couple of extracts from the shows. Exciting!
