DRUMROLL! IT'S IGOR TIME! 

Award winning playwright Igor Memic sits and drinks waaaaaay (way) too much Bone Idyll gin with Kerry Fitzgerald.

The pair cover; Igor's incredible play Old Bridge which won the Papatango new writing prize and was staged at the Bush Theatre London, winning an Olivier Award for Old Bridge, having to cosplay as middle class people in this industry, Igor's Bosnian heritage, winning an Olivier Award (they get SUPER drunk and circle back around to that a few times) and Kerry's unhealthy love of Simon Stephens. 

Igor tries to drink more than Will Sebag-Montefiore did in Ep 01 of The Ginterviews- to his peril. Drink along! Take a shot every time they totally forget what they're saying. Or each other's names. COUGH. 


Gin: Bone Idyll, London Bone Dry Gin.

Recorded at: The Savoy Tap, London
