In the first episode of the Crucible 50 Podcast Series, Ashley Barnes interviews Tedd George, son of the Crucible Theatres's founding artistic director, Colin George, about their book: 'Stirring Up Sheffield: The battle to build the Crucible Theatre', which was published by Wordville in November 2021. They explore the final years of the Sheffield Playhouse, the origins and development of the Crucible's radical thrust stage design and the controversies it stirred up, as well as the theatre's fortunes since its opening in November 1971.
