The Bridge Theatre Podcast is back and this time we’re stepping Into The Woods, exploring The Bridge’s latest production of Stephen Sondheim’s complex and deeply human musical.

In our first episode, host Pauline Fallowell is joined by Tom Scutt, the Olivier award winning set and costume designer behind the production.

Tom reflects on his journey through theatre, music and live events, and how those experiences have shaped his approach to visual storytelling. For Into The Woods at The Bridge, the forest becomes not a literal setting, but a shifting inner landscape – defined by uncertainty, consequence and choice.

He also shares what drew him to the piece, how he tackled its fragmented scenes and overlapping narratives, uncovering a depth and urgency that feel strikingly contemporary.

He also reflects on the unique creative possibilities of working at the Bridge Theatre, and what he hopes audiences take away once the fairy tales end.

Because every role has a story – and sometimes, to find it, you need to step off the path.

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