Playback Theatre musicians are mistaken for a background element, but the right offer can change everything on stage. In this conversation with Steve Nash we explore how to make music, sound, and song an essential part of the story, not just for underscoring. From the first UK playback company in York to international trainings, Steve brings decades of experience as a performer, conductor, musician, and accredited trainer. Join us in this exploration of the role with a dessert shape as an informal chat about science fiction.
