Our latest guest on our Runn Radio show was writer and actor Olivia Thompson from Fantastic Garland. Olivia's latest show is La Maupin, a folk punk play with songs, shining a light on a remarkable woman ahead of her time.

The show has already had one run at Lion and Unicorn, where we gave it a four star review, saying it was "bonkers and delightful". And the show is now back for another week from 31 Janaury, again at the always wonderful Lion and Unicorn. You can book tickets here.

It was therefore our pleasure to get to chat to Olivia to find out more about the play. We discuss what inspired her to write a musical about this real life French woman, how you go about finding actors who can also play a range of insturments, as well as asking whether musicals should be banned to help protect the NHS.
