Nominated for the prestigious MullenLowe NOVA Award at Central Saint Martins, The Little Death is a showstopping blend of cabaret, comedy and thought-provoking storytelling with a dynamic queer twist.

Dylan Trowbridge on C*ck The Play

Harvey Morton — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:06:26 GMT

Harvey Morton sits down with Dylan Trowbridge, director of the critically acclaimed new production of Cock at COLAB Theatre in London. Following sold-out runs in Canada and international tours to Japan, South Africa, and Brazil, this intimate staging of Mike Bartlett’s modern classic explores identity, love, and the pressure to define ourselves in a world that craves certainty.

Dylan shares his personal journey to directing Cock, how a profound loss reshaped his connection to the play, and why its themes remain urgent today. He discusses the bold choice to stage the play in a stripped-back, 34-seat arena that places audiences inches from the action, creating an electrifying and immersive experience.

As an ally and advocate for queer stories, Dylan reflects on navigating authenticity and respect in telling queer narratives, emphasizing the play’s focus on love beyond labels. He also reveals insights from the production’s international tour and what he hopes London audiences will take away.

Playing 15 Characters in One Show: Samuel Barnett on Mary Whitehouse, Career Challenges, and Finding Joy in Acting

Harvey Morton — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:45:00 GMT

In this episode of Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey speaks with Tony-nominated actor Samuel Barnett about his extraordinary performance in 'The Last Stand of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse' at Nottingham Playhouse. Samuel reveals the challenges and joys of playing over 15 characters (including Margaret Thatcher and Jesus) opposite Maxine Peake in Caroline Bird’s provocative new play about Britain’s infamous moral campaigner.

From the technical demands of rapid character changes to the emotional impact of witnessing diverse audiences unite around the play’s message of empathy, Samuel offers fascinating insights into this unique theatrical experience. The conversation expands beyond the current production as Samuel reflects on his remarkable career journey – from his Tony-nominated roles in 'The History Boys' and 'Twelfth Night' to his one-man show at the Edinburgh Fringe and his screen work.

With disarming honesty and humour, Samuel discusses the parallels between historical culture wars and today’s divisive rhetoric, what it’s like working with the “extraordinary” Maxine Peake, and the wisdom he’s gained about finding joy in acting for its own sake.

Michael Ahomka-Lindsay and Tatenda Shamiso on Choir Boy

Harvey Morton — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:16:54 GMT

What happens when you return to a role that forces you to confront parts of yourself you thought were healed? In this episode, Harvey Morton sits down with Tatenda Shamiso (co-director) and Michael Ahomka-Lindsay (who plays David) to talk about Choir Boy, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s powerful play about young Black men navigating spirituality, sexuality, race, identity, and brotherhood at a prep school.

This is a conversation about vulnerability as power, about inner children demanding to be heard, and about what it means to create work where all of you, every intersectional part of you, is welcome in the room.

Michael opens up about stepping back into David after the Bristol Old Vic production in 2023, and how hindsight has revealed layers he didn’t see before, both in the character and in himself. “This play is so emotive,” he tells me. “It makes you realise things about yourself you didn’t realise. I’m like, oh, okay, that isn’t healed.”

Tatenda shares what it means to co-direct a play about Black masculinity while being three years further into his own transition, and how rare it is to feel like all of you is right for a project. “It’s sort of rare when you’ve got intersectional levels of marginalisation to feel like all of you is welcome in a space,” he says. “But I feel like all of me is right for this show.”

We talk about physical affection between men on stage, about how Tarell’s text can send you to the depths of your soul and then crack the funniest joke two lines later, and about why their drama therapist calls theatre “medicine.” We discuss pressure, the external kind and the kind we put on ourselves, and what happens when young people try to fulfill what the world tells them to be.

The chemistry between Tatenda and Michael is extraordinary. You can hear the trust, the mutual respect, and the deep care they have for each other and for this work. By the end of our conversation, I understood why none of the cast and creative team have lost contact since they first did this show.

Why physical affection between men on stage matters more than you think
What it’s like to return to a role with years of hindsight (and what that reveals)
How Tatenda’s own journey with masculinity has shaped his approach to co-directing
The balance between joy and difficulty in telling stories about marginalised communities
Why vulnerability isn’t something to run from—it’s something that offers you power
What audiences should pay attention to in David’s arc
How gospel music and spirituals guide the emotional landscape of the play
Why this production feels like it’s arriving at exactly the right time

Tatenda Shamiso is a writer, director, and live performance maker with origins from Zimbabwe, Belgium, the United States, and Switzerland. He received the 2024 Arts Foundation Futures Award for Theatre Writing and the Evening Standard Theatre Award in Emerging Talent for his solo show NO I.D. at the Royal Court Theatre. He’s co-directing Choir Boy alongside Nancy Medina.

Michael Ahomka-Lindsay is reprising his role as David after the Bristol Old Vic production. His credits include Hamilton (Victoria Palace Theatre), Cabaret (Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre), and Disney’s Newsies (Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre).

Choir Boy runs at Stratford East from 26 March to 25 April 2026. Tickets start from £10.

Stripped Down: Matt Cullen and Crush Daddy on Breaking Stigmas, Sobriety, and Reality TV That Goes Deeper

Harvey Morton — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 15:14:25 GMT

This week on Queerly's Stage and Screen, Harvey is joined by Matt Cullen and Crush Daddy to talk about Stripped Down - a new series launching on OUTflix March 3rd that follows six gay strippers in Wilton Manors, Florida as they navigate life on and off the stage.

What started as a viral YouTube interview that hit nearly half a million views has transformed into a reality series that challenges everything you think you know about sex work, stripping, and the people behind the performances. Matt, creator of the acclaimed documentary series Our Queer Life, and Crush, a former Division I basketball player turned stripper and content creator who's been sober for nearly a decade, open up about trust, authenticity, and why the LGBTQ+ community became home.

We talk about breaking down stigmas around sex work, the power of honest storytelling, why Wilton Manors was the perfect location for this series, and what it takes to be vulnerable on camera. Crush shares his sobriety journey and why he feels it's his duty to be open about addiction. Matt explains how he's carving out new space in LGBTQ+ reality TV - going deeper than the drama while keeping it real.

This conversation is thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly honest. If you're tired of reality TV that's either sanitised or purely focused on drama, this one's for you.

Forbidden Pages: How 'The Librarians' Exposes the Fight for LGBTQ+ Stories with Kim Snyder, Amanda Jones & Maria Cuomo Cole

Harvey Morton — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 13:24:51 GMT

In this powerful episode of Queerly's Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey speaks with the team behind the urgent new documentary 'The Librarians' - director Kim Snyder, brave librarian Amanda Jones, and producer Maria Cuomo Cole.

When Amanda Jones discovered she had lost twelve former students to suicide "simply for being othered", she knew she had to stand up against the unprecedented wave of book banning targeting LGBTQ+ stories in her small Louisiana town.

Her courage, alongside other librarians across America, inspired this riveting documentary executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Our guests reveal the organszed nature behind what appears to be grassroots censorship, the historical parallels to totalitarian movements, and how books quite literally save LGBTQ+ lives. Jones shares her legal battle that recently resulted in a Supreme Court victory, while the filmmakers discuss creating a 'Librarians Without Borders' movement as similar censorship efforts spread globally.

From death threats to standing ovations, this conversation explores how everyday heroes are risking everything to ensure marginalised youth see themselves represented on library shelves. 'The Librarians' comes to cinemas on 26 September - a must-watch documentary for anyone who believes in the power of stories to change lives.

Trevor Ashley on The Producers’ West End Revival

Harvey Morton — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:59:14 GMT

In this episode of Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey Morton speaks with Trevor Ashley about his role as Roger de Bris in the West End transfer of Mel Brooks’ comedy masterpiece The Producers at the Garrick Theatre.

Trevor shares insights about bringing this “gloriously over-the-top role” to life, working with Tony Award-winning director Patrick Marber, and why the show’s satirical take on fascism feels disturbingly relevant in today’s political climate. He discusses the joy of performing in what he calls “one of those iconic gay roles” and the unique opportunity to play “the gayest Hitler in the entire world.”

As a performer whose career spans from Les Misérables to Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Trevor reflects on how his cabaret background influences his approach to musical theatre and the thrill of bringing the show from the intimate Menier Chocolate Factory to the grand stage of the Garrick.

Alfie Webster on ‘lenny.’ and Living Authentically

Harvey Morton — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:41:10 GMT

This week on Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey talks with writer and performer Alfie Webster about his acclaimed one-man show ‘lenny.’ - a darkly funny exploration of identity, belonging, and what it means to step off the sidelines of your own life. After a sold-out run at Theatre503, this powerful solo performance is transferring to the Omnibus Theatre this September.

In this candid conversation, Alfie shares how the play developed from a “messy” draft at the Royal Court’s Introduction to Playwriting group to its current form, discusses performing multiple characters, and reflects on modern masculinity from a queer perspective.

In this episode:

Alfie describes ‘lenny.’ as a play about “being on the sidelines of your own life” and making the decision to “step off the sidelines and live authentically”
The creative partnership with director Sarah Stacey who Alfie describes as “an incredible dramaturg” who helps him “trust what’s written on the page”
How performing the show at 31 gives Alfie a different perspective than when he created it in his late twenties
The technical challenges of embodying multiple characters through physicality and accent
Alfie’s reflections on modern masculinity and the “acceptance of softness”
The formative theater experiences that inspired Alfie, from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Bunny by Jack Thorne

About ‘lenny.’:
Lenny’s not even the main character in his own life. Dangerously close to the end of his twenties, he is still waiting for his life to begin. His best mate, Carly is in the epicentre of everything and he’s sick of always being a witness. But after waking up from a very unsettling dream with an unexpected visitor, Lenny decides to step off the sidelines. Tonight, everyone will be watching him. Tonight, he will be born into the man he’s supposed to be, and his life is really going to start… won’t it? But it’s not long before this new way of thinking begins to shift into something darker…

Tickets and Information:
‘lenny.’ runs September 16 - October 4, 2025 at the Omnibus Theatre, London.
Tickets from £10 | Age Guidance: 16+
Book now: https://www.omnibus-clapham.org/lenny/

How the play presents four distinct queer characters without falling into stereotypes
The evolution of queer storytelling moving beyond trauma narratives
What makes the Kings Head Theatre the perfect venue for this production

Becoming Nancy with Terry Ronald - Playing at The Birmingham Rep

Harvey Morton — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:38:36 GMT

In this conversation, Terry Ronald discusses the journey of adapting his debut novel 'Becoming Nancy' into a musical, reflecting on the overwhelming experience of seeing his story come to life on stage. He shares insights on how the musical captures the essence of the 70s while remaining relevant to today's audience, the collaborative process of writing new songs, and the themes of identity and acceptance that resonate throughout the show. Terry also reflects on his personal experiences that influenced the narrative and expresses hopes for the future of the production.

About Becoming Nancy:

A new musical about first love and finding your voice!

Adapted from Terry Ronald’s best-selling novel – be one of the very first to catch the UK premiere of new musical Becoming Nancy!

It’s 1979 and David Starr is unquestionably one of the smartest, most talented sixth-formers in East Dulwich – he’s got a wild imagination, a vocal range to die for, and a bedroom plastered with posters of his beloved pop idols: Blondie, Sting, and Kate Bush. But being clever, with a great taste in music may not be enough to get him through secondary school, where, to his great surprise, he’s just been given the female lead in the school play, Oliver… The unconventional casting sends shockwaves through David’s small town, first with David, and then with his parents, his aunt, and his classmates.

Before long, it seems like everybody has an opinion on whether David should go on with the show, inspiring him to turn to his no-nonsense best friend Frances and his unlikely co-star Maxie, the enigmatic captain of the football team.

Becoming Nancy is playing at The Birmingham Rep until 2nd November 2024, tickets are available here:

SPOOKABLE: Jonathan Andre Culliton and Marval Rex on Trans Supernatural Werewolf Short Comedy at FRAMELINE

Harvey Morton — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 14:53:47 GMT

Harvey Morton chats to Jonathan Andre Culliton and Marval Rex about Spookable - a film about two trans best friends who go on a cabin vacation and end up encountering werewolves. The film explores themes of trans identity and societal pressures to assimilate. The title card at the start of the film defines 'spookable' as being clockable as trans and being scared. The idea for the film came from the desire to see trans representation in genres like horror and comedy. The filmmakers drew inspiration from films like Scary Movie, Get Out, and Rocky Horror. The film also features music references to artists like Destiny's Child and Jermaine Stewart. Favorite memories from making the film include shooting on a full moon and the attention to detail in the production design. Favourite werewolf movies mentioned were American Werewolf in Paris and Wolf Cop.

Louis Emmitt-Stern on Exes, 3AM Confessions, and Why Slippery is the Anti-Rom-Com We Need

Harvey Morton — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:09:41 GMT

Harvey Morton is chatting with playwright Louis Emmitt-Stern about his new play Slippery, which is having its world premiere at Omnibus Theatre in Clapham.

Louis’s play won the Soho Theatre’s Tony Craze Award, and it’s a heart-stopping comedy-drama that tackles something we don’t see on stage nearly enough, addiction and chemsex in the LGBTQ+ community. Set entirely at 3AM in a London flat, Slippery follows Jude and Kyle, two exes who haven’t seen each other for a decade since their messy breakup. They’ve just returned from A&E. Jude has slipped, but they’re both falling.

In this conversation, Louis opens up about the personal inspiration behind the play, why 3AM is the perfect time for uncomfortable truths, and how he balances comedy with serious themes. We also talk about the crucial partnership with London Friend’s Antidote service, his journey through rejection to recognition at Soho Theatre, and why he describes his work as “Trojan horse romantic dramas.”

It’s a brilliant chat about the conversations we wish we’d had, the versions of ourselves we can’t escape, and why sometimes the best stories come from the moments we’re most vulnerable.

Louis Emmitt-Stern is a rising star playwright whose work has been championed by Soho Theatre. His plays include I F*cked You in My Spaceship (Soho Theatre, VAULT Festival - VAULT Festival Origins Award for Outstanding New Work) and Snakes and Ladders (Southwark Playhouse). He’s also adapted Mansfield Park for Jane Austen’s House. Louis is a contributor to the Soho Writers Alumni Group and has been part of Soho Theatre Writers Lab and Oxford Playhouse’s Playmakers Scheme.

Slippery runs at Omnibus Theatre, Clapham until 11th April 2026.

Book tickets: omnibus-clapham.org/slippery

This production is in partnership with London Friend, the UK’s oldest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans charity. Their Antidote service provides support around drug and alcohol recovery for the LGBTQ+ community.

We dive deep into Mark’s coming out experience, discussing how he navigated uncomfortable questions before he was ready and the profound impact that Schitt’s Creek had on his decision to come out to his parents during lockdown. Mark reflects on the importance of positive LGBTQ+ representation in media and how seeing David and Patrick’s relationship portrayed so beautifully gave him the courage to embrace his authentic self.

Mark also takes us through his solo travel journey, which began in York and Whitby in 2021 and has since blossomed into an empowering part of his life. He reveals how these adventures transformed him from someone who couldn’t bear to be alone with his thoughts to someone who now craves solitude and independence.

In one of the most touching moments of our conversation, Mark opens up about the loss of his auntie and how that grief has shifted his perspective on life, encouraging him to take bigger risks and embrace joy whenever possible.

We round off our chat with Mark’s surprising appearance on First Dates and the advice he would give to his younger self just starting out in content creation.

Emer Dineen on the Power of Queer Cabaret: 0800 CUPID at The Soho Theatre

Harvey Morton — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 08:38:32 GMT

Emer Dineen discusses the inspiration behind her drag king character Cupid, exploring themes of connection, loneliness, and the balance between humour and serious topics in her performance. She reflects on her personal experiences, including her journey with Tourettes and ADHD, and emphasises the importance of accessibility in the arts. The discussion highlights the unique genre-defying aspects of her show, the collaborative efforts of her talented team, and the messages of acceptance and connection she hopes to convey to her audience.

About 0800 CUPID:

THISISPOPBABY and Soho Theatre presents 0800 CUPID - a genre-defying, vibrant and timely response to the swelling social anxiety of our post-pandemic, pre-apocalyptic world.

Fresh off the back of a sold out run at Dublin Theatre Festival, 0800 CUPID - a nightclub interruption and queer cabaret explosion set amidst the bright lights of London – will bring the vitality and spontaneity of queer counterculture to the main stage at London’s Soho Theatre from Wednesday 16th to Saturday 26th October 2024. Tickets are available now at sohotheatre.com.

Platforming a new generation of Irish diaspora voices and celebrating the creativity of Irish theatre creatives, 0800 CUPID is THISISPOPBABY’s newest offering since smash hit WAKE (which made its debut at Dublin Fringe Festival to critical acclaim) and is the latest of the production company’s hugely anticipated residencies at Soho Theatre (Panti Bliss: If These Wigs Could Talk, High Heels in Low Places).

Written by Emer Dineen (breakout star of WAKE, MODEST, Bourgeois and Maurice’s Insane Animals) and directed by Phillip McMahon (WAKE, RIOT, Dublin Oldschool, Insane Animals) with music production by Irish EDM legend Elaine Mai, 0800 CUPID fizzes between performance and reality, and is a camp catalyst for reconnection which speaks from a disconnected generation partying as if the world is ending, while struggling with loneliness, the cost of living, comparison and making sense of meaning.

Through her drag persona, crumbling club-kid ‘Cupid’, Emer Dineen grapples with love in a lonely capitalist paradigm. Hungover, moulting and disorientated, our redundant deity battles with modern life, unravelling Emer’s true story of navigating personal loss, dysfunctional relationships and finding meaningful connection in the city - where she least expected it.

Max Lindsay, Director of ENG-ER-LAND on being 'othered' as a football supporter and founding The Rainbow Saints (the LGBTQ+ Supporters Network for Southampton FC)

Harvey Morton — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 13:06:44 GMT

Harvey Morton is joined by Max Lindsay, Director of ENG-ER-LAND on this week's episode of Queerly's Stage and Screen Podcast. Max speaks about the show and about his experiences being 'othered' as a gay football supporter which led him to set up The Rainbow Saints (the LGBTQ+ Supporters Network for Southampton FC).

About ENG-ER-LAND:

1997 is a confusing time for 14 year old Lizzie. Her mum’s from India, her Dad says he’s Scottish, but she was born here, in England. Rugby to be specific. And all she really (really) wants is to look like Gwen Stefani.

As her mates turn their back when she needs them most, and her Dad’s affection seems to be focused elsewhere, Lizzie starts to question if there's anywhere she really belongs.

Until she finds solace in an unlikely place.

After touring to over 30 venues and being nominated for Best Stage Production at The Asian Media Awards, this new production of ENG-ER-LAND is directed by Max Lindsay and stars Nikhita Lesler as Lizzie.

Written & Produced by Hannah Kumari through her role as Fans For Diversity Campaign Manager at The Football Supporters’ Association, the national, democratic, representative body for football supporters in England and Wales - join here.

Harvey Morton — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Thomas Duke joins Harvey Morton on Queerly's Stage and Screen Podcast to chat about his journey Stepping Through Film. Tom's lifelong love affair with film has taken him on an incredible journey over the past 13 years.

From his earliest memories, film has been a means of escape and exploration for Tom, allowing him to travel to new worlds and see himself reflected in beloved characters. The locations and experiences captured on screen have become just as important as the stories themselves, sparking Tom's enduring fascination with the magic of cinema.

While studying Film & TV at Brunel University, Tom delved deeper into the intricacies of filmmaking, developing an appreciation for the craft. Long before his academic pursuits, he had already begun visiting film locations, attending premieres, and immersing himself in the industry, driven by his curiosity.

As Tom's passion for film and photography grew, it became an integral part of his daily life. He never imagined that his little online space would blossom into what it is today, garnering attention from studios, directors, and actors alike.

Hear about Tom's career to date on this bonus episode of Queerly's Stage and Screen Podcast.

Adèle Anderson’s Journey from Civil Servant to Priscilla’s Bernadette

Harvey Morton — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:50:48 GMT

Harvey Morton sits down with the remarkable Adèle Anderson, who is making history as the first trans woman to professionally play Bernadette in Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Best known as one-third of the internationally acclaimed satirical cabaret trio Fascinating Aïda, Adèle opens up about her extraordinary journey, from spending years as a civil servant and secretary while transitioning, to finally breaking into theatre at 30, to now playing the role she was born to play.

This is an intimate and honest conversation about perseverance, visibility as activism, found family, and why representation on stage matters more than ever. Adèle shares her thoughts on the current toxic climate around trans rights, why she believes “the vast majority of the British public don’t give two hoots about trans people in bathrooms,” and the profound responsibility of being visible to young people who see themselves reflected on stage.

Whether you’re a theatre lover, a Priscilla fan, or someone who needs to hear a story about never giving up on your dreams, this episode will inspire and move you.

What it means to be the first trans woman to play Bernadette professionally
The “long time coming” journey to this historic moment
Adèle’s 10 years of being “unemployable” in theatre while transitioning
Working as a civil servant and secretary to prove she “wouldn’t be a burden on the state”
How Fascinating Aïda became her foundation, shield, and found family
Why the group didn’t address her trans identity for years—and why that changed
The overwhelming positive response to their song “Prisoner of Gender”
Her perspective on the trans bathroom debate and right-wing media toxicity
Meeting parents and children at the stage door who see themselves represented
Why visibility on stage is her form of activism
The touching story at the heart of Priscilla—identity, diversity, and self-acceptance
How Bernadette and the other characters become a found family
Learning to dance alongside Strictly professionals and West End dancers
The 100+ costume changes and her favourite costume moment
Why this story of hope and redemption resonates now more than ever
Her advice to her younger self: “Keep at it. Never lose hope.”
What’s next for Fascinating Aïda (spoiler: they’re touring again next year!)

Adèle Anderson is best known as one-third of Fascinating Aïda, the satirical cabaret trio she’s performed with for over three decades. She is currently starring as Bernadette in the UK and Ireland tour of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, making history as the first trans woman to play the role professionally. With a career spanning musical theatre, cabaret, film consultation, and activism through visibility, Adèle continues to inspire audiences across the country.

Edinburgh Fringe Bonus #4 - Ryan Stewart: KINDER

Harvey Morton — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 09:55:50 GMT

In this Edinburgh Fringe special, Harvey Morton speaks with Ryan Stewart about ‘KINDER’, a chaotic and tender exploration of drag, childhood, and the moral panic surrounding queer visibility. Ryan shares how a humorous misunderstanding - a drag artist accidentally booked for a children’s reading hour -evolved into a powerful commentary on censorship and reactionary politics. Through the character of German drag clown Goody Prostate, the show spirals from comedy into poignant reflections on growing up neurodivergent and queer, finding sanctuary in imagination, and the persistent attacks on drag performers worldwide. KINDER blends drag, theatre, and storytelling to examine what happens when we start repeating our own histories and forget where our stories come from.

Catch ‘KINDER’ at Underbelly Cowgate (Big Belly) from July 31st to August 24th, 2025 (not 6th, 13th, 20th), at 18:40. Tickets available from £8.50 (previews) to £14 at www.underbellyedinburgh.co.uk. Follow @goodyprostate on Instagram.

Peter Caulfield & Kellie Shirley: Pints, Pubs, and Playing 14 Characters in TWO

Harvey Morton — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:41:01 GMT

Harvey Morton is joined by the brilliant Peter Caulfield and Kellie Shirley, who are bringing Jim Cartwright’s immersive production of TWO to Park Theatre from 1st-25th April.

Between them, Peter and Kellie play fourteen characters—ranging from age eight to eighty, in an intimate pub setting where you, the audience, become the punters. It’s theatre like you’ve never experienced it before, complete with 80s bangers, a built bar, and even pub quizzes on select nights.

In this episode, we chat about:

Their incredible chemistry and how they first bonded on One Man, Two Governors twelve years ago

The challenge of inhabiting fourteen different characters and finding truth in each one

Why they abandoned fat suits and chose authenticity instead

The magic (and occasional awkwardness) of immersive theatre when you can see every audience member’s face

Why TWO feels more relevant than ever in our isolated, screen-obsessed world

Peter’s reunion with Russell T Davies on Tip Toe, coming to Channel 4 this summer

Kellie’s role as chain-smoking Auntie Terry in the beloved sitcom Changing Ends

The difference between performing on stage versus screen, and why theatre gives you an immediate reaction you just can’t get on TV

Harvey Morton — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 09:50:10 GMT

Peter Caulfield

Harvey Morton — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 09:30:00 GMT

Host Harvey Morton sits down with actor Peter Caulfield to discuss F**king Men, the provocative play returning to Waterloo East Theatre from 22 March to 4 May 2025. Caulfield offers an intimate glimpse into Joe DiPietro’s Tony Award-winning work, revealing the play’s unique narrative that explores the interconnected lives of 10 gay men in New York. With Caulfield playing three distinct characters, the production challenges expectations, moving beyond stereotypical representations to create a nuanced exploration of sexuality, connection, and the intricate dynamics of the gay community. As Caulfield describes it, the play captures the essence of how “in the gay community, it’s such a small little world,” where lives intersect in unexpected and profound ways.

Vivian Panka on Making History as Regina George: "If It Inspires Even One Kid, I Feel Honoured"

Harvey Morton — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 10:43:31 GMT

This week, Harvey Morton is thrilled to be reunited with the incredible Vivian Panka, who is currently making history as the first woman of colour to play Regina George in the UK and Ireland tour of Mean Girls.

In this conversation, Vivian opens up about:

✨ Holding the Secret – What it was like keeping her Mean Girls casting under wraps for months and the overwhelming response when the news finally dropped

🎭 Growing Up in Holland – How High School Musical sparked her love of musical theatre, and what it was like discovering shows like Wicked and Sister Act

🇬🇧 The Leap to the UK – Moving to a new country during the pandemic to star in 9 to 5, and the people like Louise Rednapp who showed her kindness when she had no family nearby

👑 Making History – The profound significance of being the first Black or mixed-race woman to play Regina George full-time, and the messages from parents and young people that remind her why representation matters

💪 Quiet Determination – How she advocated for herself by asking to be seen for Regina (not just Gretchen), and what gave her the confidence to go after what she wanted

🎤 Finding Regina – How she's making the iconic character her own, why Someone Gets Hurt and World Burn have both become favourites, and her Disney Channel pre-show playlist

📹 Documenting the Journey – Why she's vlogging the entire Mean Girls experience and what it means to share these moments with her audience

🌟 Learning from the Best – The invaluable lessons she's learned from working with Alice Fearn, Ryan Kopel, and other leading performers about professionalism, calm, and community

🎯 Dream Roles – She's already done two of her three dream shows (Dear Evan Hansen and Mean Girls)

💭 Advice to Her Younger Self – What she'd tell herself on that first terrifying day of 9 to 5 rehearsals, and why we all need to remember that "we aren't saving lives"

Vivian is honestly such a warm, kind, and hard-working person. Her journey from Holland to the West End stage is inspiring, but what strikes us most is her genuine desire to use her platform for good and to open doors for others. I think we could all learn to be more Vivian.
