Performance artist Bryony Kimmings talks with writer and producer David Micklem about what might tempt her back into making theatre again. In this podcast she pleads with those that hold the power in theatres to better respond to the needs and wants of local audiences. She argues for the better payment of all artists, and their future role in getting out into the real world to make theatre by, with, and for the people theatres exist to serve. She calls for radical change - a culture reset perhaps - and makes the case for the importance of arts and culture in the UK. 

Recorded remotely during Covid lockdown in Summer 2020.
