Sandra sits down with the playwright, director, actor and Artistic Director and Joint CEO of Brixton House, Gbolahan Obisesan to talk about creativity, growth and legacy.  Brixton House will be rehoused in a beautiful new two-theatre building on Coldharbour Lane from October 2021 and this was a wonderful opportunity to catch up and discuss his experiences and thoughts about the past, present and what's to come.
