Episode 48 - 'Lili In the Guesthouse Window' with Gregory A. Smith and Stephen Oswald.

This week I'm chatting to my friends, the effervescent Gregory A Smith and the delightful Stephen Oswald.

Greg has written the play 'Lili - In the Guesthouse Window' which he presented to me on my birthday this year with an amazing gift of a role. Best present ever.

Greg describes it as a an enduring love story from 1930's Berlin to 1980's Brixton.
Sexuality, race, persecution and survival are strong themes throughout the play.

Greg and Stephen help me delve deeper into the piece and we look at how we are going about getting a play from page to stage.
We discuss what drew Stephen to the project and what really resonated with him about the play.

We aim to keep you posted as the project grows and really give you an honest view of our endeavours as they happen.
We hope that some of you will get to see the piece down the line and feel connected to our work via these chats.
