In this episode, we dive into the magical world of London’s pub theatres—vital stages for new writing in the UK. We explore how these intimate spaces support emerging talent and connect directly with audiences with insights from Heather Jeffery, editor of LondonPubTheatres.com, and Jonathan Blakeley, a writer and performer who self-produced his play "Stitches" at the Hope Theatre in February 2024. So grab a drink, and let's head up the creaking staircase and celebrate the spirit of creativity and community that makes pub theatres the lifeblood of British theatre.
