Today's guest is club runner, actor and writer Ella Road.
Ella Road is a writer and actor from London. Her first play ‘The Phlebotomist’ premiered at the Hampstead Theatre Downstairs in Spring 2018, and transferred to the Main House in Spring 2019. The play was nominated for an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate theatre and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
Her new play 'Fair Play' is on at the Bush Theatre in London until January 22nd. You can find out more information and book tickets here
Ella joined me for a winter walk to get coffee after the press night of the play. We talk about her running journey, her writing and the creative process involved in tackling tough subjects in sports and turning them into theatre.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
