In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast, we’re joined by actor, producer (and Holly’s cousin!) James Schofield. If, like Holly and Thea, you know next to nothing about acting, then buckle your seatbelts and prepare to be enlightened! We chat to James about the importance of support from teachers early on in a creative career, how he found his current role at The Living Theatre, and the joy of finding creativity in unexpected places (who knew grant applications could be so much fun!) Also featuring: how to make friends using coin tricks, the pros and cons of drama school, and the truth behind the mysterious role of a producer… let’s dive into it! 

The Living Theatre is an open air theatre in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside. You can find them on Instagram @the_living_theatre
