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.

This week, associate director Lily Dyble talks about the art of supporting big shows – the sensitivity, timing and trust that let a creative team do its best work. She reflects on a pathway that spans lighting desks and rehearsal rooms, from early music-soaked beginnings in Manchester to recent projects at The Bridge and beyond, and why scale only works when the rooms are humane.
Lily unpacks what it really means to be an associate director – protecting the director’s focus, translating between departments, and turning logistics into momentum – and shares a few favourite memories from Bridge productions where the building felt alive with possibility.
For her fantasy production, Lily looks to music and movement — re-imagining a vast choral world in dance and light, built to surround an audience.
