Listen "09 - Ben Wilson"
Episode Synopsis
Ben Wilson is an actor, theatre-maker, audio description consultant and recently became Extant's first trainee Artistic Director. We talk about how he combines these different roles, what it's like having a portfolio career like so many of us in the arts, on his requirements as a blind actor, on questions like why do West End shows have different access providers every week in each different venue, and should arts organisations and directors who have never cast a disabled actor on their stage still be given a platform. Enjoy!
