      Interview: Getting into a Pickle with Deli and Tanya

      by

      Deli Segal and Tanya Truman on new play Pickle

      Pickle is a play about being a young Jewish woman, balancing the two sides of your life; that of being from a Jewish family and the other of just being a young woman. We struggled to think of many other examples of theatre exploring the young female Jewish experience, so we thought we’d like to find out more from the show’s writer/ actor and producer. It was a lot of fun chatting to Deli and Tanya, as well as a wonderful chance to learn a little more.

      The show itself was scheduled to play at Vault Festival, so became yet another casualty when the festival was cancelled. This interview was recorded at the end of 2021, prior to cancellation and so there are a couple of Vault mentions.

      However we’ve been assured the show will see life on stage soon in 2022, so we thought it still more than worthwhile to share this interview with you.

      If you want to keep an eye out for when this show will be on stage, we recommend you follow both Deli Segal and Tanya Truman on Twitter. More

      Interview: Are You Safe Benedict Cumberbatch?

      by

      Hooky Productions on their show Experiment Human

      It’s always fascinating to find out where the original ideas for a play come from, and that’s just what we hear about from sisters Maya and Rosa, who make up Hooky Productions. The pair tell us about turning a childhood idea into the central concept for their show, Experiment Human. We also hear the truth about Benedict Cumberbatch, who has a leading part to play in their show.

      The interview was recorded on the same day that it was announced that the Vault Festival had been cancelled. The show was scheduled to play there in March, so at the time of recording, plans were very much up in the air. But the pair were not too downhearted and kept us entertained with their laughter and sheer weirdness of what the show offers. We do hope we get to see it in a theatre near us soon.

      There are currenly no confirmed dates for when Experiment Human will be playing. For more information, follow Hooky Productions on the below social media channels. More

      Interview: Taking the Jellicle Cat on Tour

      by

      Linus Karp talks about taking his latest show on tour around the UK

      Linus Karp became the first guest to appear on our Runn Radio show twice, and we couldn’t be happier. Always full of positivity and support for everyone else, he makes the most delightful of guests.

      We sat down with Linus just before Christmas to hear about what he has been up to lately, and how the plans for the UK tour of How to live a jellicle life: life lessons from the 2019 hit movie musical ‘cats’ are going. And as ever, he was the most purrfect of guests.

      You can find the full list of tour dates here

      As you will hear in the interview, the show will be livestreamed from Belfast on 4 March, and then available to watch on-demand for a limited time afterwards. You can book tickets for the stream here.

      You can also read our review of the show here
