  • Absolutely wonderful and so needed

    Funny, fascinating and friendly. So wonderful to have such a warm place for conversations with creative folk, particularly in the Scottish theatre community which doesn’t have a lot of this sort of thing. I hope the National Library of Scotland is archiving these!
