Harvey Morton sits down with Dylan Trowbridge, director of the critically acclaimed new production of Cock at COLAB Theatre in London. Following sold-out runs in Canada and international tours to Japan, South Africa, and Brazil, this intimate staging of Mike Bartlett’s modern classic explores identity, love, and the pressure to define ourselves in a world that craves certainty.

Dylan shares his personal journey to directing Cock, how a profound loss reshaped his connection to the play, and why its themes remain urgent today. He discusses the bold choice to stage the play in a stripped-back, 34-seat arena that places audiences inches from the action, creating an electrifying and immersive experience.

As an ally and advocate for queer stories, Dylan reflects on navigating authenticity and respect in telling queer narratives, emphasizing the play’s focus on love beyond labels. He also reveals insights from the production’s international tour and what he hopes London audiences will take away.

Listeners will get insight into Pedro’s journey from his breakthrough role in the horror trilogy The Strangers to working with prestigious theatre companies like the Royal Shakespeare Company. He also reflects on the intimate atmosphere of Jermyn Street Theatre and what audiences can expect from this powerful, immersive production.

What happens when you return to a role that forces you to confront parts of yourself you thought were healed? In this episode, Harvey Morton sits down with Tatenda Shamiso (co-director) and Michael Ahomka-Lindsay (who plays David) to talk about Choir Boy, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s powerful play about young Black men navigating spirituality, sexuality, race, identity, and brotherhood at a prep school.

This is a conversation about vulnerability as power, about inner children demanding to be heard, and about what it means to create work where all of you, every intersectional part of you, is welcome in the room.

Michael opens up about stepping back into David after the Bristol Old Vic production in 2023, and how hindsight has revealed layers he didn’t see before, both in the character and in himself. “This play is so emotive,” he tells me. “It makes you realise things about yourself you didn’t realise. I’m like, oh, okay, that isn’t healed.”

Tatenda shares what it means to co-direct a play about Black masculinity while being three years further into his own transition, and how rare it is to feel like all of you is right for a project. “It’s sort of rare when you’ve got intersectional levels of marginalisation to feel like all of you is welcome in a space,” he says. “But I feel like all of me is right for this show.”

We talk about physical affection between men on stage, about how Tarell’s text can send you to the depths of your soul and then crack the funniest joke two lines later, and about why their drama therapist calls theatre “medicine.” We discuss pressure, the external kind and the kind we put on ourselves, and what happens when young people try to fulfill what the world tells them to be.

The chemistry between Tatenda and Michael is extraordinary. You can hear the trust, the mutual respect, and the deep care they have for each other and for this work. By the end of our conversation, I understood why none of the cast and creative team have lost contact since they first did this show.

• Why physical affection between men on stage matters more than you think

• What it’s like to return to a role with years of hindsight (and what that reveals)

• How Tatenda’s own journey with masculinity has shaped his approach to co-directing

• The balance between joy and difficulty in telling stories about marginalised communities

• Why vulnerability isn’t something to run from—it’s something that offers you power

• What audiences should pay attention to in David’s arc

• How gospel music and spirituals guide the emotional landscape of the play

• Why this production feels like it’s arriving at exactly the right time

Tatenda Shamiso is a writer, director, and live performance maker with origins from Zimbabwe, Belgium, the United States, and Switzerland. He received the 2024 Arts Foundation Futures Award for Theatre Writing and the Evening Standard Theatre Award in Emerging Talent for his solo show NO I.D. at the Royal Court Theatre. He’s co-directing Choir Boy alongside Nancy Medina.

Michael Ahomka-Lindsay is reprising his role as David after the Bristol Old Vic production. His credits include Hamilton (Victoria Palace Theatre), Cabaret (Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre), and Disney’s Newsies (Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre).

Choir Boy runs at Stratford East from 26 March to 25 April 2026. Tickets start from £10.

Harvey Morton is chatting with playwright Louis Emmitt-Stern about his new play Slippery, which is having its world premiere at Omnibus Theatre in Clapham.

Louis’s play won the Soho Theatre’s Tony Craze Award, and it’s a heart-stopping comedy-drama that tackles something we don’t see on stage nearly enough, addiction and chemsex in the LGBTQ+ community. Set entirely at 3AM in a London flat, Slippery follows Jude and Kyle, two exes who haven’t seen each other for a decade since their messy breakup. They’ve just returned from A&E. Jude has slipped, but they’re both falling.

In this conversation, Louis opens up about the personal inspiration behind the play, why 3AM is the perfect time for uncomfortable truths, and how he balances comedy with serious themes. We also talk about the crucial partnership with London Friend’s Antidote service, his journey through rejection to recognition at Soho Theatre, and why he describes his work as “Trojan horse romantic dramas.”

It’s a brilliant chat about the conversations we wish we’d had, the versions of ourselves we can’t escape, and why sometimes the best stories come from the moments we’re most vulnerable.

Louis Emmitt-Stern is a rising star playwright whose work has been championed by Soho Theatre. His plays include I F*cked You in My Spaceship (Soho Theatre, VAULT Festival - VAULT Festival Origins Award for Outstanding New Work) and Snakes and Ladders (Southwark Playhouse). He’s also adapted Mansfield Park for Jane Austen’s House. Louis is a contributor to the Soho Writers Alumni Group and has been part of Soho Theatre Writers Lab and Oxford Playhouse’s Playmakers Scheme.

Slippery runs at Omnibus Theatre, Clapham until 11th April 2026.

Book tickets: omnibus-clapham.org/slippery

This production is in partnership with London Friend, the UK’s oldest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans charity. Their Antidote service provides support around drug and alcohol recovery for the LGBTQ+ community.

Harvey Morton sits down with the remarkable Adèle Anderson, who is making history as the first trans woman to professionally play Bernadette in Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Best known as one-third of the internationally acclaimed satirical cabaret trio Fascinating Aïda, Adèle opens up about her extraordinary journey, from spending years as a civil servant and secretary while transitioning, to finally breaking into theatre at 30, to now playing the role she was born to play.

This is an intimate and honest conversation about perseverance, visibility as activism, found family, and why representation on stage matters more than ever. Adèle shares her thoughts on the current toxic climate around trans rights, why she believes “the vast majority of the British public don’t give two hoots about trans people in bathrooms,” and the profound responsibility of being visible to young people who see themselves reflected on stage.

Whether you’re a theatre lover, a Priscilla fan, or someone who needs to hear a story about never giving up on your dreams, this episode will inspire and move you.

• What it means to be the first trans woman to play Bernadette professionally

• The “long time coming” journey to this historic moment

• Adèle’s 10 years of being “unemployable” in theatre while transitioning

• Working as a civil servant and secretary to prove she “wouldn’t be a burden on the state”

• How Fascinating Aïda became her foundation, shield, and found family

• Why the group didn’t address her trans identity for years—and why that changed

• The overwhelming positive response to their song “Prisoner of Gender”

• Her perspective on the trans bathroom debate and right-wing media toxicity

• Meeting parents and children at the stage door who see themselves represented

• Why visibility on stage is her form of activism

• The touching story at the heart of Priscilla—identity, diversity, and self-acceptance

• How Bernadette and the other characters become a found family

• Learning to dance alongside Strictly professionals and West End dancers

• The 100+ costume changes and her favourite costume moment

• Why this story of hope and redemption resonates now more than ever

• Her advice to her younger self: “Keep at it. Never lose hope.”

• What’s next for Fascinating Aïda (spoiler: they’re touring again next year!)

Adèle Anderson is best known as one-third of Fascinating Aïda, the satirical cabaret trio she’s performed with for over three decades. She is currently starring as Bernadette in the UK and Ireland tour of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, making history as the first trans woman to play the role professionally. With a career spanning musical theatre, cabaret, film consultation, and activism through visibility, Adèle continues to inspire audiences across the country.
