Dominic Dromgoole and Lucian Msamati talk to Francine Stock

Theatre Behind the Scenes

 – Castle Marquee

A unique and hugely entertaining conversation between two titans of British theatre.

Dominic Dromgoole (Time Frames: A Century of Proscenium Playwrights) is the former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe and presents a thrilling, witty and surprising sweep across a century of theatrical history, from Shakespeare himself through Noel Coward, Ibsen, Sartre and more. Lucian Msamati (The Godot Diaries: Behind the Scenes of Beckett’s Play) is an award-winning actor and writer, and here he recalls in dazzling detail the experience of working on a major production of Samuel Beckett’s iconic Waiting for Godot.

An exclusive opportunity to hear two greats unpack the layers of social history woven into some of the best-known plays of our times. With live readings from Lucian Msamati and acclaimed actor Greg Wise.
