I couldn't quite believe that one of our most prolific living playwright's agreed to be on my podcast. But one of the most incredible things about Mark Ravenhill is how generous he is with his knowledge and expertise.

This was a lengthy chat which covered the French word for prompter, his sometimes- good-sometimes-bad relationships with stage managers, the remarkable German theatre system and his worst digs story. Which also involves me owning up to one of my biggest mistakes. Yikes.

Editing this was almost impossible as so much of what Mark says is so interesting. I think I could have chatted theatre with him all day. Make a cup of tea (or four) and enjoy this week's episode of 'Prompt'.
