The Everything Theatre Interviews

Episode 72: Bring on the revolution


Listen Later

This week's guest is Matthew Jameson. Matthew is most well known as being part of the team at The Space on Canary Wharf. But as well as his day job, he has also been busy writing his play, Ten Days. Well, we say busy, but as he tells us, it has been ten years in the making!

Ten Days is a slice of intensified history, based on the memoirs of those that  lived it and adapted for 2022. An epic, comic, political thriller from journalist John Reed as he follows Lenin, Trotsky, Tsar Nicholas II and (of course) The People of Russia from the February uprising through the Storming of The Winter Palace in an action-packed, ridiculous and urgent  retelling of ten days that changed our history and shook the world.

As well as discussing the play, we also find a little time to talk about The Space, and some of what they have been up to. 

Ten Days plays between 14 and 25 March. The play will also be livestreamed on 23 March and then available on-demand for two weeks afterwards. Further information and bookings here.
