Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

061: Jack Holden (Part Two)
Q: What was the inspiration behind Cruise and its British perspective?
Holden describes the project as rooted in a British AIDS narrative and his own early experiences; he used research and personal memory to tell a story that feels authentic to London's Soho scene while acknowledging influences from other works.
060: Jack Holden (Part One)
Q: How did your experiences at drama school and early performances shape your current work?
He reflects on Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, early showcases, and meeting his long-time collaborator Ed, which led to creating Awkward Conversations with Animals I Fucked and eventually developing Kenrex and Cruise.
060: Jack Holden (Part One)
Q: What was it like growing up and how did early experiences shape your path?
Holden describes a busy, unsettled childhood with four brothers, a love of drama from school, and a drive to stay involved in theatre, which laid the foundation for his future, including the decision to pursue drama school and the arts.
060: Jack Holden (Part One)
Q: Ever been to The Two Brewers before?
Yes, Holden has been there, recalling it as a good night and noting there was a second part he remembered while entering.
059: Martin Sherman (Part Two)
Q: What message would you like to send to young queer writers?
Just keep writing; don't ask why you write or overthink outcomes. Write for the act of writing itself, and later opportunities will emerge rather than being forced or planned in advance.
