Amateur of Life and Death

Love is in the Air

September 16, 2022 The Crescent Theatre Season 2 Episode 1
Amateur of Life and Death
Love is in the Air
Show Notes

We’re delighted to be back for a second season of the podcast. 

Each episode takes a look at a different aspect of the wonderful world of amateur theatre and features an amateur theatre maker talking about their theatrical life, theatrical loves, and the times when they’ve ‘died’ on stage. 

Our Backstage Pass feature takes us behind the scenes at The Crescent Theatre, Birmingham to discover more about what goes into making a great amateur production. 

This month’s episode is a little bit different as we lift the lid on some of backstage business that goes on in not one, but two, forthcoming productions at the Crescent. 

John O’Neill will be talking to actor and musician Hugh Blackwood about his life and loves in amateur theatre.

Meanwhile Luke and Liz will be taking a look behind the scenes of the catchily titled musical ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change’ and the Tudor romcom ‘Shakespeare in Love’, adapted for the stage by Lee Hall from the 1998 film of the same name.
