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! LinksExtant Theatrehttps://extant.org.uk/ Graeae Theatrehttps://graeae.org/ Ramps on the Moon Projecthttps://rampsonthemoon.co.uk/ Sheffield Theatreswww.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk Oliver Twist – NT At Homehttps://www.ntathome.com/products/oliver-twist Georgie Morrell – comedian, actor, writerhttp://georgiemorrell.co.uk/ Thanks for listening!
