In this series we’ll chat with the people who work behind the scenes to make this all happen. We’ll speak with reviewers, people in charge of running venues, we’ll look at the marketing side of things, as well as speaking with actors, writers, and directors who are taking work to the fringe.
Today's episode is a little different as we're talking about our own project: The Truth About Trees.
Ahead of its Fringe production, Director Laura Hounsell and Writer Alex Zawalnyski discuss the show's history so far. They talk about the multiple rounds of development, making puppets come to life, and how children engage with analogue technologies.
