NEWS: Manchester's HOME launches a theatre podcast!

HOME LAUNCHES THEATRE PODCAST

HOME have launched the HOME Theatre Podcast, a new podcast dedicated to showcasing the plethora of artists that take to their stages.

Each episode will feature the cast and creatives of some of the theatre productions on show in the multi-arts venue’s two theatre spaces. Hosted by various members of the theatre programming team, the podcast will take a deep dive into their work, their careers, their trials, tribulations and most importantly, their advice.

HOME are committed to supporting and showcasing work with a unique theatrical language – work that is ambitious, experimental and asks more questions than it answers. The podcast will showcase the amazing work that is both born and supported at the venue.

The first episode features an exclusive interview from some of the cast and creative team behind the first ever HOME-produced musical, Insane Animals. “Modern-day music hall stars” George Heyworth & Liv Morris (of Bourgeois and Maurice), who wrote and star in the show, director Philip McMahon and actor Lockie Chapman talk about first-ever gigs, how Insane Animals differs from ‘traditional’ musicals and what audiences can expect from the show.

Jude Christian, HOME Associate Director, said: “HOME is a place for artists and theatremakers who want to delve into the unknown; to surprise audiences – and themselves – with new stories, and new ways of telling them. The Theatre Podcast will be a space for those artists to dissect what they’re doing, share their practice, and talk about the people and experiences that have shaped their work. We hope there’ll be lots to enlighten and entertain, for emerging artists and curious audience members alike.”

The launch of the theatre podcast follows HOME’s previous success with the HOME Film Podcast which has been listened to over 41,000 times. There will be something for everyone – from audience members to working artists to people who have never stepped foot in HOME.

The first episode is available now through all the usual podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Play etc.) as well as on its own dedicated website here.
