For this episode I once again brought on a creative AND a backstage practitioner to chat together about all things theatre, stage management and being prompt.
Tabby is a playwright, most well known for her autobiographical piece 'Since U Been Gone' and more recently 'Happy Meal', and Amber is a phenomenal stage manager who I was lucky enough to work with twice before I hung up my headset for good. They were colleagues and now great friends, and I couldn't wait to catch up with them both at the same time.
During this chat we really get under the bonnet of time keeping and what we can put in place for people who are not naturally punctual for a variety of reasons. Tabby is neurodivergent so it was great to delve into that way of thinking and what support could (and should) be offered to neurodivergent performers and creatives when staging a production.
This felt like more of chat and a catch up with two buddies as opposed to an interview so I hope you enjoy this cosy, funny and thought provoking ep.
