In our third episode of the series, Head of Stage James Edwards takes us behind the scenes of The Bridge – a theatre that transforms dramatically between productions thanks to the ingenuity of his team. James reveals what it takes to rebuild entire seating blocks, manage the unseen choreography of stagecraft, and keep complex productions running smoothly no matter how ambitious the vision.

He reflects on a life spent backstage – from growing up in a theatre family to leading one of London’s most adaptable stages – and hints at a favourite moment when the line between crew and cast briefly disappeared.

And for his fantasy production, James looks close to home – finding inspiration in London’s grit, rhythm and sense of community.

Hosted by Pauline Fallowell, Director of Marketing and Audiences at the Bridge Theatre.
