This week's guests are writer Nina Atesh, along with actors Andrew Callaghan and Jack Flammiger. Nina's play, The Drought, was the winner of 2021's London Horror Festival playwirght competition. From there it had its first run at King's Head Theatre in September, and is now preparing for a second run, this time as part of Old Red Lion Theatre's GrimFest season.

The Drought is a psychological horror/ thriller, set aboard a naval ship in the Victorian era. Except the ship is now on the seabed, as the sea has vanished. It's a fascinating premise, which we discuss in the interview, asking where it came from and why Victorian times? We also discuss what it is like as actors when you are involved in such an intense play, how do you unwind, and what happens when you forget your next line!

You can find our review of the play from it's King's Head run here, and book tickets for its Old Red Lion run between 1 - 4 November here.
