Discover how art can confront silence, challenge myths, and ignite change 🌟 In this latest episode of The Martin Talk Show, host Martin Colton sits down with the extraordinary Leah Shelton and the brilliant Ursula Martinez to explore their award-winning show BATSHIT đźŽđź”ĄFresh from its triumphant run at the Edinburgh Fringe, this daring and deeply personal one-woman performance rips apart the labels of "female madness" while reclaiming stories of resilience, injustice, and raw humanity. Leah’s journey—rooted in the lived experience of her grandmother’s incarceration in 1960s Australia—unfolds with piercing honesty, razor-sharp wit, and unflinching theatrical power. Guided by Ursula Martinez’s visionary direction, BATSHIT dares us to question systems that pathologise women and forces us to reflect on how far we’ve truly come. Recorded backstage at the iconic Soho Theatre in London, this conversation goes beyond the stage. It’s about creativity as resistance, performance as protest, and storytelling as a powerful force for social change ✨ Whether you’re an artist, theatre lover, or simply someone seeking truth through art, this episode promises to inspire, challenge, and move you.
