Not Culture

We’re baaaaack! Soz about the draught - life caught up with me. In this episode, I’m joined by the renowned playwright Andrew Kuliniasi, who is here to talk to us about his upcoming shows for Arts Awareness Month in March - ‘He Is Victor’, ‘For My Father’, and the yet-to-premiere ‘Letters from Bradley’.

Andrew is a prolific writer and has penned some of our time's most thought-provoking and socially conscious plays. In this episode, he’ll be talking about what it’s been like to put 2 of these shows back on stage after each of their successful runs, and how the passage of time has allowed both he and his cast and crew to tackle these issues in more effective ways.

Here are time stamps to navigate.
