The warm, wise and completely wonderful Julie Hesmondhalgh talks to Nancy about playing Joan Scourfield, the woman whose son was killed with a single punch in 2011, in James Graham's incredibly moving play Punch.
And the smell of whiskey and cigar smoke hang in the air as the gang give their views on the West End transfer of Ryan Calais Cameron's play Retrograde, a snappy period thriller in which the actor Sidney Poitier meets a TV lawyer in an office in 1950s New York and is asked to denounce his friends. (If you want to hear about what it takes to step into Poitier's shoes, you can listen to LTR's interview with the man playing him, Ivanno Jeremiah, in Episode 9). They also take in Azuka Oforka's unflinching debut play The Women of Llanrumney at Theatre Royal Stratford East.
