Spooky Season is back. We have a week of brilliant audio drama coming your way. First up we have Cull by Cara Watson. This is two extracts from Cara’s script, and we hope it gives you a sense of the story. Content warnings to be aware of themes of blood, violence and animal hunting, although not fully explored in the extracts. Our voice actors in this episode are: Fern – Chloe Kaney Cal – Jamie Cunningham Billy – Joshua Gardner CARA WATSON An actor and playwright from Fife, currently living in Edinburgh. I have a strong interest in new writing, as well as re-approaching the classics. My writing pulls history and Scottish DNA into today with a mystical connection to nature. I am also co-founder of Untie My Tongue Theatre, which focuses on new writing from women and marginalised genders within Scottish theatre. CULL Cull, a thriller set in the remote and bleak landscape of Scotland that explores themes of animal cruelty and misogyny. The play follows Fern in her quest to become a deer stalker in a male dominated business within rural Scotland. Upon arriving, Fern meets Billy, a middle-aged man and experienced deer stalker, and Cal, a local lad who has been working for Billy since he was a teenager. Although Billy welcomes Fern into their unique and brutal way of life, Cal is not as pleased about her arrival and makes various attempts to put her off. However, Fern is determined to stay. Meanwhile, strange things start to happen. Eerie noises are heard at night. There are knocks on the door, but nobody is there. Fern feels like she’s being watched…hunted even. She soon realises that Billy and Cal are not what they seem. And she wonders if the deer are starting to fight back… OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk HIPA GUIDES: HIPA GUIDES Equity Toolkit: Link Stellar Quines: Link Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE

THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH Persistent and Nasty is & years old. We can’t believe it. In this episode Elaine and Louise celebrate the achievements of the last seven years. We cover everything from how we started, the ups and downs, the hard truth that by advocating for everyone in our industry we might not work again, that even if we do work we can fall into the trap of wanting to been seen as “nice and easy” – we’re all human and none of this work is binary. We discuss our name it’s origins and how the meaning of it has shifted for us over the years. We also mention the new edition to the podcast: MAIL BAG – you can write and ask us industry related questions or general questions or maybe you have a hot take you want to share, some tea you want to spill or a topic you want discussed on the podcast. To be included in the Mail Bag podcast email persistentandnansty@gmail.com with subject line MAIL BAG or slide into the DM’s. Finally, we talk about what we hope for P&N for the next seven years.

Episode 247: Where We Stop - Molly Geddes 36:29

منذ 8 weeks36:29

36:29

Elaine chats with actor, writer, Molly Geddes We talk about Molly’s short film Where We Stop which was created to be part of an initiative for Glasgow Girls Club. The initiative aims to raise awareness of Violence Against Women and Girls among young women aged 16-21 in Glasgow as well as highlight information about the available support services. We also chat about being a survivor and how it feels moving forward. TW for this episode discussion of coercive control You can watch Where we Stop here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoxPV6u--uA&t=6s Glasgow Girls Club: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/11121/Glaswegian-Girl-Made-Multi-Media-Campaign-to-Combat-Violence-Against-Women-and-Girls-launches-today Where We Stop Is this your stop pal?’ Sophie gets the bus every day. Same seats, same route. With pals, on her own, from work, to college- She never misses her stop. After getting into her first relationship with Jack, who joins her on the bus, she could stay on with him all day. Sophie’s journeys are filled with love, banter and friendship as we see glimpses into the everyday life of a young woman in Glasgow. However, as we catch more and more glances into Sophie’s life, something doesn’t feel right. We begin to see the signs of a relationship that has become abusive- and a bus that seems impossible to get off. ‘Where we stop’ is a film that subtly highlights forms of violence against women and girls and the often-overlooked early signs of domestic abuse. Born from a lack of media that specifically centres young women’s experience of domestic abuse, this film aims to challenge the misconception that the issue primarily affect older women. Created in collaboration with young women across Glasgow, and inspired by the writer's own experiences, it is a film created to open eyes and start conversations. Molly Geddes Molly Geddes is an actor, writer and Graduate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is also the writer of new short social impact film ‘Where We Stop’, a piece of work that aims to engage young women on the topic of Violence Against Women and Girls. As a young woman, Molly experienced intimate relationship abuse firsthand and knows how isolating navigating an experience like this can be. Molly’s main interest for creating this film was the lack of media around intimate relationship abuse, that specifically centred young women. She felt there was little to no media around this topic that resonated with her, and so she thought it was important to create something that can help other young women in the situation she found herself in. Using her own experiences and research from focus groups Molly created ‘Where we stop’. This is her first time writing for screen, having previously only written for theatre. Molly is buzzing to be part of this project especially with the unwavering support of the Glasgow Girls Club, a group she has been a part of since she was 14 years old. This is a massive full circle moment for Molly, both personally and professionally, and to see the impact this process has already had on young women is magic.

Episode 246: CYRANO RE- LISTEN 31:57

منذ 8 weeks31:57

31:57

In this RE-LISTEN episode Elaine chats with actor, writer, director Virginia Gay. We talk about Virginia’s Fringe First award winning show Cyrano. We talk talking old stories and bringing them to new audiences without repeating the same story but bringing a fresh perspective to it and how vital that is for us all. We talk about the wonderful tool that is comedy that let’s us reach our audience in an authentic and truly moving way. We chat the joy of theatre, words, life, queer love and so, so much more. Cyrano is on now at the Park Theatre London 11th December 2024 -11th January 2025 - Tickets: parktheatre.co.uk/event/cyrano/ CYRANO Virginia Gay’s joyous, gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac, packed with music, wit and aching romance, is a love letter to hope; to language and desire; to the irrepressible magic of theatre. A big-hearted, irreverent rom-com, perfect for a feel good Christmas treat. Cyrano is the most interesting person in any room – a wordsmith, a charmer. She works twice as hard and runs twice as fast as the pretty boys, because she’s deeply ashamed of something about herself. Enter Roxanne: brilliant and beautiful, with a penchant for poetry and a way with words, just like Cyrano. But Roxanne only has eyes for Yan: hot, manly Yan; all brawn-and-no-brains Yan; who is dumbstruck around Roxanne. Probably shy, right? Until suddenly he starts saying the most amazing things. But it’s not Yan writing these perfect love scenes, it’s Cyrano … Virginia Gay “Virginia Gay graduated WAAPA, then spent four years pretending to be a nurse on All Saints, six months pretending to be cop on Savage River (ABC), and then five years on Winners & Losers, where she pretended to know a lot about high finance. That last one, particularly, was a stretch. She won a Sydney Theatre Award for Best Actress for Calamity Jane, starred in the film Judy & Punch which premiered at Sundance, and wrote and directed her first short film Paper Cut, which made Tropfest finals. In 2020 she wrote two new plays: an adaptation of Cyrano for MTC and The Boomkak Panto for Belvoir, which premiered December 2021. She starred in both and also co-directed The Boomkak Panto.” OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk HIPA GUIDES: HIPA GUIDES Equity Toolkit: Link Stellar Quines: Link Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE…

In this episode Elaine chats to Canadian theatre maker Claire Love Wilson. We talk about their show Morag You’re a Long Time Died. Which is touring Scotland/Ireland/England this month after a successful month at the Edinburgh Festival. We chat about the show, generational relationships and much more. Tickets here: http://clairelovewilson.com/morag-youre-a-long-time-deid Morag You’re a Long Time Died Morag’s death left a silence in her place. When her grand-daughter Sam inherits her piano, she also inherits the mystery of Morag’s story. An intimate letter composed of fragmented Scottish ballads leads Sam to uncover Morag’s possible queerness. In piecing together Morag’s history through their shared Scottish musical heritage, Sam discovers a voice of her own. This new experimental musical warps, disrupts, and reconfigures traditional Scottish storytelling, ballad singing and participatory community dance. Reimagining ceilidh theatre from a queer perspective, original compositions are playfully interwoven with electronic loops and interactive dancing to tell old stories anew. Claire Love Wilson Claire Love Wilson (she/they) is queer white/Scottish settler multidisciplinary artist living on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) First Nations. She works as a theatre-maker, actor, playwright, musician, and singer-songwriter. Claire has been featured as a creator and performer at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, the rEvolver festival, The Shift Festival, and Theatre Under the Gun in collaboration with companies like The Only Animal, Urban Ink, the frank theatre, Aphotic Theatre and ITSAZOO Theatre. Claire has also facilitated workshops on her personal loop- based performance practice “Song-Walking” locally as part of Interplay Festival and the Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival, as well as internationally at the University of The West of Scotland, the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and BAM in Paris. Claire is the co- creator, lead performer and co-producer of the experimental musical “Morag, You’re a Long Time Deid” (MORAG), which works to queer traditional Scottish ballads through loop-based soundscaping and storytelling. As a work in development MORAG has been showcased at the National Theatre of Scotland, The Scottish Storytelling Centre and at PushOff! in Vancouver. The production premiered as part of Touchstone Theatre’s 45th anniversary season in June 2022. MORAG had its UK premiere at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is now on tour in Scotland, Ireland and England.
