Done that?

Brilliant. First step towards becoming a proper writer - DONE.

Perfect.

Now... it’s time to settle the score, turn the tables, slip the shoe onto the other foot. Tom sets up a chat with Samia Rida, who’s taking her one woman play to Edinburgh. A cunning way of encouraging Jon and Katie to crack on with their play.

Will it work?

Find out in this week’s episode, as we chat to Samia about how you go about taking a show to Edinburgh, the benefits of taking your writing into your own hands and turning it into a show, the trauma and comedy inherent in being kidnapped and taken to Saudi Arabia, the life of artists generally, and lots of other stuff that you’ll have to listen to the show to find out.


Samia’s play is called Kidnap, it’s on at the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh from 30th July to the 10th August, and it sounds excellent! Get your tix here:
