Look who's calling!

It's Laurie Ward...

In this first ever LIVE recording, Patti sits down with Laurie Ward (Ugly Sisters, 52 Monologues for Young Transexuals) on the stage of Newcastle’s Live Theatre to close out the Trans Performance Now festival. Topics include Madonna, Kate Bush, I Saw the TV Glow, trans tragedy (because let’s face it, trans joy doesn’t make for great drama), and dads. Also, lazy reviewers, bimbo lips, and the power of artistic partnerships.

This week Patti chats to writer, performer, and theatre-maker Emma Frankland (No Apologies, Hollyoaks, We Dig, Rituals for Change, Welcome to Nightvale, None Of Us Is Yet A Robot, and many more) about making good messes and staying in the fight. Other topics include Nirvana, kids these days (don’t even know what a phone is), fire onstage, the role of art in activism, and how to avoid people when you owe them money. Also, at what point is a healthy smoothie just a gazpacho?

Don’t miss ‘No Apologies’ next month at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (31 July - 24 August, Summerhall, Venue 26). Was Kurt Cobain trans? Emma’s getting to the bottom of it and there WILL be chandeliers.
