Welcome to the Bridge Theatre Podcast where we meet the people who make the magic happen — on stage, backstage, and everywhere in between.
Presented by Pauline Fallowell, Director of Marketing and Audiences at the Bridge Theatre, we explore their first spark with theatre, the moments that shaped them, and their ultimate fantasy production — from dream casts and legendary creative teams to the perfect stage to bring it all to life.
In this 10-part series, we sit down with members of The Bridge Theatre family including A Midsummer Night’s Dream actor David Moorst, Richard III composer Grant Olding, Props Supervisor Lily Molgaard, and choreographer — and theatre legend — Dame Arlene Phillips.
You’ll hear untold stories from behind the scenes and discover what inspires the people who make The Bridge so special ... as well as some wildly creative ideas for shows that don’t exist … yet.
If you love theatre, enjoy hearing untold stories from behind the scenes, and want to know how your favourite shows come to life, this is the podcast for you.

In our third episode of the series, Head of Stage James Edwards takes us behind the scenes of The Bridge – a theatre that transforms dramatically between productions thanks to the ingenuity of his team. James reveals what it takes to rebuild entire seating blocks, manage the unseen choreography of stagecraft, and keep complex productions running smoothly no matter how ambitious the vision.
He reflects on a life spent backstage – from growing up in a theatre family to leading one of London’s most adaptable stages – and hints at a favourite moment when the line between crew and cast briefly disappeared.
And for his fantasy production, James looks close to home – finding inspiration in London’s grit, rhythm and sense of community.
