S012E05 - Out with the Old

Drewling Samantics

Out with the Old
Following a summer of classic plays for both our Drewling Samantics hosts, this week’s episode gives them an opportunity to discuss new writing - something the pair have also enjoyed working on in the recent past as well.
From playwrights producing new plays, to TIE (Theatre In Education), and from commissioned works and competition winners to community theatre and the many, many more areas of performance, there is a wealth of new writing regularly being given life. Getting new works “from the page to the stage” is no easy feat, it is almost always a long and tricky journey with many challenges, but (fortunately) performers do eventually get to seize the chance to breathe life into something fresh and new - a great privilege with even greater responsibility when it comes to doing justice to the piece and pleasing and impressing the writer and the anticipated audience in equal measure.
Drew and Sam have been involved in quite a few new works throughout their careers, and long time Drewling Samantics aficionados have travelled some of those production journeys with them, so today’s podcast outing is a time for looking back on some of those productions as it cements even further just how important new writing is - you might even say it’s the life blood of the performing arts!
