Join us for the final At The Stage Door of the Semester!!

The Boys have a jam packed show for you this week, interviewing the directors of TG's 'Two' (Tom Gibson) and OT's 'Normal' (Eve Walton); as well as previewing OT's Edinburgh Fringe Show '90's Kids Only', Co-Written & directed by Joe Spike Woodley & Laurentz Valdes-Lea.
This week we focused on Tom's directorial process on Two and discussed with Eve, Spike and our Boy Thomas Davy, who was a lead in Normal, both about directing but also the dark themes of the work and how they handled this in the performance. We close out with an interview with Spike, our first recurring guest, as he takes us through his Edinburgh Fringe show '90's Kids Only', a New-Writing Dramatic Comedy about a group of people who believe the world started on January 1st 1990 (auditions to be held in May (TBC)).

(We are very sorry to say that unfortunately we have had to cancel our episode reviewing Lemons, Pterodactyls & Loot)
