Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Tom, a theatre maker, director, and writer, to explore his journey into the world of performing arts. Tom reflects on his early passion for creativity, from hosting games at family gatherings to navigating the challenges of pursuing drama in an all-boys school. He candidly discusses the stigma and misconceptions he faced, the resilience he built, and how these experiences shaped his career. Join us as we uncover the power of theatre in fostering confidence, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring the next generation of artists.


Tom also talks to us about his moving play: 97+ which tells the story of two survivors of the Hillsborough Disaster. As well as his latest play: A Man and His Circumstance, a crude comedy about male physical health.
