About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with a dynamic, beautiful and hilarious couple of the theatre world—Chris Bush and Roni Neale, both accomplished playwrights with a passion for storytelling. Chris, known for the critically acclaimed 'Standing at the Sky’s Edge', shares insights into their creative process (all nighters and avoiding Zip Zap Boing), while Roni, a stage manager AND playwright currently being mentored by Theatre Royal Plymouth, explains the challenges and rewards of balancing these two roles. Should we as stage managers be reigning in our creativity or finding more of a voice in the rehearsal room?

Together, they navigate the highs and lows of the theatrical world, from their strong opinions on the future of the National Theatre to their (very) different approach to punctuality. And if that wasn’t enough, they do it all while wrangling their demanding kitten.

This was SUCH a joy to record and has laughter, lively debates, and a gorgeous insight into their relationship.

Enjoy!
