Amateur of Life and Death
The Amateur of Life and Death podcast brings together amateur theatre makers to talk about their theatrical lives, theatrical loves, and the times when they’ve died on stage. We take you behind the scenes at The Crescent Theatre to discover more about what goes into making a production, shining a spotlight on the stars behind the scenes, as well as those on stage.Theatre is our passion; amateur from the Latin ‘amare’, meaning ‘to love’. This is a podcast for anyone with an interest in watching or making amateur theatre.

This month we welcome actor and director Steph Urquhart onto the podcast to share her life and loves in amateur theatre. Steph is also directing the Crescent Theatre's forthcoming production of Nora: A Doll's House by contemporary playwright Stef Smith, a powerful reimagining of Ibsen's classic play. Steph tells us more about the challenges and rewards of staging this exciting take on A Doll's House, set simultaneously in three different time periods.
Meanwhile Luke, who is appearing in Nora: A Doll's House himself, has been backstage with two of his fellow cast members to find out how they are tackling playing their roles in scenes set in 1918, 1968 and 2018.
