In The Spotlight: Recent Episodes
Shauna Sutton
In The Spotlight is a podcast discussing all things thespian. From upcoming fringe theatre shows to how artists can look after themselves, we aim to indulge in everything the theatre landscape offers.
Tom, Adam and I discuss concepts such as the manosphere and incels linked to their new play Rawsexappeal, "a sexy new play, with an even sexier theatre company." Their new play, created with Nila, involves a Londoner who travels to America and finds himself amongst incels, or, men who hate women. This is a new comedy-drama which asks the audience, what is the difference between geeky virgins and violent misogynists? Maybe together, this question can be sorted out once and for all. Otherwise, our best bet is a bargain-shop Gandalf.
Caitlin Plummer discusses Plumtree theatre's new show, 'Give a Little.' Plummer and Izzy Kersley founded Plumtree theatre in 2022 whilst studying for a Master's at the Guildford School of Acting. 'Give a Little' is their first original creation produced by Luke Bromley. The show covers themes of sisterhood, tradition and growth. The characters, Lila and Emily, come together on their mother’s birthday to exchange gifts. A long family tradition. With each new gift comes a new set of circumstances, until one year they get a little more than expected… the show follows their relationship through the years as they try to manage the growing pains of getting older. The show will be performed at Camden Fringe Festival, Etcetera Theatre, on Friday 12th August at 3:30 pm and Saturday 13th August at 11:30 am.

Shauna Sutton and Jenette Meehan discuss Jenette's relationship with self-care. We cover topics of self-discipline, having a clean space and changing the narrative from needing to take care of ourselves into deserving to nourish ourselves and our spaces.
