The Everything Theatre Interviews

Ep 96: What We Need Are More Pirates


Listen Later

Our guest this week is Jacob Newton. You may have come across Jacob if you've ever been to Lion and Unicorn Theatre as he is very often one of the cheerful people greeting you as you head in for your next theatre fix.

But right now Jacob has other things on his mind, primarily, his debut play, Breast-baring, which will be playing at, well, you can guess where!

Breast-baring introduces us to Annabel, a woman who hides in the corners of parties, if she is even invited. Until Annabel discovers the story of Anne Bonny, a ferocious pirate, and an idol who will lead Annabel to... well, that is what you will find out if you go and see the play.

But before then, why not find out more by listening to our chat with Jacob. We talk about the inspiration behind it, why he no longer sits in cafes nursing one coffee all day long, and whether there will be any sword fighting - and if so, has that increased his insurance costs?

Breast-baring plays at Lion and Unicorn Theatre from 26 - 30 September. Further information and bookings can be found here.
