About this listen

Jenna checks in somewhere a little different for our Christmas special episode of Room Service - swapping our usual hotel space for the Savoy Theatre at Paddington Bear’s request for a rehearsal-friendly setting - and is joined by award-winning writer and director Jessica Swale.Over marmalade sandwiches (courtesy of Paddington himself), Jessica talks about adapting Paddington for the stage, directing her new Amazon Prime film Merv, and the importance of telling uplifting stories in a world that needs them more than ever. The conversation explores creativity, courage, and why some stories matter precisely because they make us feel hopeful.Created and Written by Jenna Elsby-BennettDirector: Jenna Elsby-BennettProducer: Laura EarwakerVideographers: Bobby Skinner @ Relapse ReelsThe robes worn in this episode are kindly provided by our series sponsor, Tielle.
