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.

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.

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.

She has graced the cabaret stages of La Clique, Club Briefs, Little Death Club, Vegas Nocturne and Jonny Woo’s infamous UnRoyal Variety Show.

In this episode Elaine chats with actor, 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 - Traverse Theatre Dates: 1st-25th August @ Various Times Tickets available here: https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/cyrano-festival-24 Park Theatre London 11th December 2024 -11th January 2025 - Tickets: https://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.” HIPA GUIDES: HIPA GUIDES OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk 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…

Today Elaine chats to young Edinburgh writer and performer Olivia McGeachy about her show What The Fuck Happened to Love and Hope. We talk about finding your way in the industry, the development of the show and the premise of the show (trigger Warning as this play is about the culture of spiking and assault). We also chat about being young and a producer on your first fringe show. WTF Happened to Love and Hope - theSpace on the Mile Dates: 20th-24th August (special venue showing on the 19th) @ 10am Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/what-the-f-ck-happened-to-love-and-hope WTF Happened to Love and Hope Teenager Nina and best friend Faye are tangled in the terrifying culture of spiking and assault in this powerful new work written by an 18-year-old. Nina is cheeky and bubbly, until a night out takes a horrific turn, leaving her to navigate the devastating aftermath. Confident, outspoken, Faye's okay. Definitely. When Harry from school removes the condom midway through sex without her consent, she struggles for the first time to pretend she's fine. Playing Nina is Olivia McGeachy (also writer) and playing Faye is Heidi Steel (star of Summerhall's The Fish Bowl). Olivia McGeachy Olivia McGeachy is an 18-year-old mixed heritage Indian/Scottish actor and creative from Edinburgh. After building experience as an actor, including joining the National Youth Theatre, she’s delighted to be at the fringe this year as writer/lead producer/actor (Nina) for ‘What The F*ck Happened To Love And Hope?’ with an excellent and properly lovely team!

A gentle show that aims to bring hope and solace to all, Joik explores human emotion, memory and connection with the help of a hardy Arctic mammal. Feeling lost and misunderstood in the wake of a bereavement, Elaine is gifted a reindeer with unexpected consequences. Follow her unlikely path from grief to comfort in what is probably the second-best show about a reindeer you’ll see this year. Finding somewhere beautiful to put the things we never asked for in the first place, Joik makes its way to a resolution of unapologetic optimism, celebrating the small moments of understanding that remind us we're alive. You will also learn a fair bit about antlers. These fragile subjects are in safe hands as Elaine is an award winning comedian, writer and actor whose previous shows have examined loneliness using Disney princesses and looked at the hopelessness of capitalism using salad spinners.

Today Elaine chats to poet and Storyteller Laura Thurlow about her new show River Time. We talk about the inspiration for the show, how women aren’t allowed to grow old and still be beautiful as well as touching on discovering something about yourself that changes everything. River Time- Greenside@Riddles Court - Picles Studio Dates: 9th - 24th August @ 1.45 pm Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/river-time River Time River Time! pulls its title from one of the show’s opening anecdotes. As a student in Edinburgh with unmanaged ADHD, Laura would often go for a night out on the Cowgate, perceive someone as looking at her wrong, become paranoid that her friends secretly despised her, and have a meltdown. To regulate these intense emotions, she would take moonlit walks at 4am along the water of Leith. To this day, if she texts a friend River Time, they know that she means her brain is on fire. A little understood aspect of ADHD is the resulting impact of the Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria that sits alongside it. These mood swings, this intense fear of rejection, are felt in the body as intense emotional pain. Laura’s fear of rejection takes her to the river, calls her to the sea, begs her to submit to the absolution of dark waters. Better to be a beautiful corpse than a failed woman. Laura’s brain is ruining her life and plotting her death. This is a one-woman treatise on deciding not to drown. River Time! discusses Hamlet’s Ophelia and the life and loss of Virginia Woolf. Laura tells anecdotes of rejection and desperation – feeling adrift in one’s own mind. She speaks on grief, and guilt through describing the loss of a friend who did not survive their messy student days. The show is a dark storytelling hour from a gifted comedic voice. It is nuanced and entertaining while inherently and enduringly relatable. Come along and take some River Time! Laura Thurlow Laura Cathryn Thurlow is a writer and performer based in Scotland, originally from Canada with experience performing across Europe. Her previous show, ‘A Preoccupation with Romantic Love’ received critical and audience praise in Edinburgh and Camden in 2023 and was nominated for an Emerging Artist Award with The Neurodiverse Review. Laura’s recent credits include being a finalist at the European Slam Final held by Commonword (Manchester), and at the Glasgow Women’s Library’s ‘Calm Slam’, and Scottish National qualifying slams at Candlelight Open Mic & The Poetry Experiment. She has recently been a featured performer with both The Loud Poets and Spoken Word Paris. She is currently completing a Master of Literature at the University of Glasgow.

Today Elaine chats with writer and performer Sora Baek about her play Sell Me: I Am From North Korea the true stories of incredibly courageous North Korean women defectors. We chat the creation of the play, the importance of keeping your creativity while being a mother and much more. Sell Me: I am From North Korea - Pleasance Courtyard - Below 31 July - 25 August (not 7, 13, 19, 20) @12:35 (55 mins) Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sell-me-i-am-from-north-korea Sell Me: I am From North Korea SELL ME follows 15-year-old Jisun, a North Korean girl who decides to sell herself to an old Chinese man to make money for her mother’s medication. After risking her life by crossing the Tumen River into China, Jisun learns her malnourished, underdeveloped body is not wanted. She finds herself having to make her own way on the streets, struggling in a merciless foreign land where her very existence is illegal. Inspired by the journeys of many North Korean women defectors, SELL ME portrays the everyday lives and impossible choices made by those living in North Korea, too often overlooked and distorted by Western media. Sora Baek Sora Baek is an award winning actor, playwright, and producer from South Korea. She has been featured on the Korea Times, News 12 NJ, and Voice of America. Select acting theatre credits include: SELL ME: I am from North Korea (the US Capitol Center), The Storm, A Christmas Carol, and Sworn Virgin (NYC and International Tour) with Blessed Unrest and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (Calaveras Repertory Theatre). She received a Best Actress Award at the Epidemic Film Festival in San Francisco. Sora has been working with Only Make Believe which brings interactive theatre to children with disabilities over 15 years. *Sora’s grandparents fled the North during the Korean war with her father when he was only four years old. She grew up in a small South Korean town across the river from North Korea, looking out at the empty ghost buildings. Sora’s writing and research into the lives of North Korean defectors were born out of her family’s inability to return home, the pain caused to many innocent families by the war that divided the two countries, and the pain many have since continued to live through. She presents this performance for her father, her grandfather, and all those who cannot go home.

In todays episode Elaine chats with New Zealand performer and choreographer Sacha Copland about her new show Anatomy for Accounts. We chat the creation of the show, what we are actually worth, how amazing our bodies are and the work that we need to do as white people to break down misogyny, racism, homophobia and so much more and how we do this with out getting defensive. Anatomy for Accountants ticket link: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/anatomy-for-accountants A high-risk, high-return dance show about how much our physical bodies are worth in a society ruled by cold hard numbers. Natural growth doesn’t make sense in a world tightly commanded by economics - and prolific choreographer Sacha Copland of Java Dance Theatre (Back of the Bus, 2014) has something to say about it. A show for lovers of the body (and accountants), Anatomy for Accountants is a passionate, new dance-theatre show about giving bodies back their full range. Copland prices every aspect of her own life to deconstruct how we define and understand our own worth whilst celebrating the body. Joined by live musician and performer Tristan Carter in the role of number-crunching Chief Financial Officer, Copland crafts a deeply creative, vulnerable meditation on her own human form - pricing her limbs, head, and organs nude for the audience to see and intimately experience. Lilting between gentle and brutal, soft and dark, universal and personal, Anatomy for Accountants examines how our value changes and shifts across our lived experiences; how every forced or pressured YES or each resolute or exhausted NO impacts how we are received by others, and if we depreciate or increase in value in their eyes. Holding the audience in a charged yet ultimately compassionate embrace, Anatomy for Accountants references deep family histories, personal anecdotes, what we owe the future, and how the body holds onto it all - showing us that, in the end, it is simply enough to exist. Through Copland’s creative search to reunite with herself, the show celebrates the expansive nature of humanity and our own thrilling ability to be alive.

In today’s episode Elaine chat with 2 thirds of tasteinuourmouth theatre company Laoise Murray and Grace Morgan. We chat making work as a new company, women in theatre & indeed the world. How capitalism and the wellness industry uses us yet we buy in to it and much more. You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) is on from the 1st -26th August at Buccleugh Terrace. Tickets available via Summerhall Ticket link: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/you-re-needy-sounds-frustrating You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) tasteinyourmouth present the UK Premiere of their intimate, site-specific theatre show, You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) - after receiving nominations for Best Production and First Fortnight Award during their sell-out Dublin Fringe Festival 2023 run. Skewering the dark undertones of the pastel pink wellness industry and the ways in which it plays on women’s insecurity, You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) invites one audience member at a time to the world of Carrie, who has retreated to her bathroom in the pursuit of wellness, solitude, and perfection. She spends her days taking long, tea-infused baths, and applying SnailMucusWhalePlacenta Face Masks (™), whilst living off of slim noodles and endless cups of coffee. Assuming the role of a support worker, audience members individually enter Carrie’s world, and attempt to coax her back into reality and reintegrate her into society. Carrie’s state of mind within You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) is inspired by hikikomori, the Japanese phenomenon of young people retreating to solitude, usually within their parents’ homes. The audience’s position within this comes from the custom of ‘Rental Sisters’, people who voluntarily visit these withdrawn individuals to encourage them to re-enter society. Created by tasteinyourmouth, performed by Laoise Murray and Heather O’Sullivan, with direction from Grace Morgan and original material and dramaturgy by William Dunleavy, You’re Needy (sounds frustrating) is an uncanny, feminist, and intimate multi-disciplinary piece that explores how capitalism seeks to control women’s bodies through the concept of ‘wellness’.

Honestly, it’s been tough. The dating pool is huge and there are plenty more fish in the sea, but maybe she’ll never find someone to adore for her (immortal) life. Now, in one last totally-not-desperate shot, she wants to see if you - yes, YOU - could be the ‘one’. Oh, and did she mention, she’s a jellyfish? A very horny jellyfish. ‘Gracie’ is a surreal murder mystery about falling in love at the end of the world, surviving the apocalypse, and being the last of your species.

A clever, funny, existential play about philosophy and childbirth – with a touch of dubstep, karate, and slagging Socrates off.

Did you know Socrates was pregnant? Yep - all the time. He gave birth to the immortal, pure, and civilised: ideas! Imagine that. All Cathrine Frost did was grow and give birth to an ACTUAL screaming, human, ugly baby… and then decided to write a comedy theatre show about it, discovering a galaxy of secrets in the process. No notes, huh Socrates? Cathrine Frost Andersen is an actor, improviser, and nurse. As an early member of the ensemble at Det Andre Teatret, which she helped start in 2011, she plays in a number of different improvised performances throughout the year, both on the theatre's own stage in Oslo and out on tour. Cathrine is part of Det Andre Teatret’s longest-living improv group Improtent and she has a long acting career behind her. She has, among other things, been involved in the theatre production Vildanden at the festivals in Bergen with Vegard Winge directing, and a residence in Kautokeino at the Sami National Theater Beaivvás. She has participated in various theatre festivals at home and abroad, and is also on the TV screen now and then.

Today Elaine chats with playwright Maureen Lennon about her new show Dead Girls Rising, the importance of regional theatre, the power to art and artist have to ask the difficult questions and much more. Ticket details for Dead Girls Raising: https://www.silentuproarproductions.co.uk/coming-soon Maureen Lennon Maureen is a Hull based writer, a graduate from the English and Theatre Studies BA from The University of Bristol and the Writing for Performance and Publication MA from The University of Leeds. She is an Associate Artist of Middle Child Theatre, a Leeds Playhouse FUSE writer 2019, a BoxFresh Writer 2023 and Sphinx30 playwright. In 2020 her play Helen was shortlisted for the Theatre 503 International Playwriting prize. In 2018/19 she was longlisted for the Alfred Bradley Bursary for Radio Drama.

She has also written work for Paines Plough, Hull Truck Theatre, Sheffield Theatres, and Pilot Theatre. Dead Girls Rising A brand-new production from Hull-based Silent Uproar, Dead Girls Rising is an angry, joyous, punk protest that doesn’t pull any punches. Written by Maureen Lennon, with music and lyrics from Anya Pearson (international punk artist featured on BBC Radio 6 Introducing ), Dead Girls Rising is an explosive exploration of what it takes to live and survive within a violent patriarchy. Katie and Hannah love murder. They go to bed listening to podcasts about serial killers; they clutch blankets watching gruesome documentaries. They’re in deep. They’re not sure if they can stop, and they’re not sure if they want to. Dead Girls Rising interrogates themes of true crime, Greek mythology, patriarchy and women’s safety, with a furious soundtrack and moments of horror and magic on stage. Co-directed by Silent Uproar’s Ruby Clarke and Alex Mitchell, it stars Helen Reuben, Angelina Chudi, Izzy Neish, Zoe West and Rebecca Levy.

Today Elaine chats with dancer, performer, choreographer Charlotte McLean about her career, the power of dance and the everything that surrounds menstrual health and the womb and Charlotte’s new work Futuristic Folktales. Which was co-created by an exciting multi-disciplinary creative team including Helen McIntosh, Nelly Kelly, Malin Lewis, Astro Scheidegger, Orrow Bell, Alison Brown, Emma Jones, and Rob Evans, Futuristic Folktales is a collaboration-driven show that aims to disrupt, and refresh expected formats of performance through radical and emotive explorations of reproductive justice and injustice, body politics, bodily autonomy, and identity. Futuristic Folktales Futuristic Folktales tells the momentous story of the first womb - an environment where life and death intimately coexist. Humbly attempting to unify humanity through the infinite narrative of birth, the show experiments with contemporary, breaking, and Scottish Highland dance to probe questions of tradition, preservation, myth, and identity. The performers share their unique perspectives, as Orrow and Astro intimately birth and unbirth each other. Inviting audiences to feel resistance as the performance imitates the hostile, terse environment of the womb, the show seeks to further dance as a form of political protest - otherwise, why dance? Charlotte Mclean's work amalgamates dance theatre, improvisation, voice work, imagination, self-celebration, radical listening and joy. Charlotte is a contemporary dance artist from Arbroath, Scotland and a London Contemporary Dance School graduate. She has performed and worked internationally with Curious Seed, Eva Recacha, Pink Mama Theatre, Hannes Langolf, Jack Webb, Vanessa Cook and Barrowland Ballet amongst many others. Charlotte is co-founder of BADBODYCHAOSCODE (fka The Yonis) with Haley Jayne Gash and founder of sibling company Die Berner Band. Both are contemporary movement bands. They have been commissioned to perform at Edinburgh and Camden Fringe Festivals, Brainchild Festival, V&A London, The Place, TANZhAUS Bern and Dampfzentrale and have been featured in Dazed and Confused Magazine. The bands have toured in the UK, Poland, France, Germany, Switzerland and New York City. Charlotte began her dancing career with Highland, a traditional Scottish form of movement and taught this from a young age. She has always been passionate about teaching and sharing. She has taught at London Contemporary Dance School; Scottish Dance Theatre; Dance Base Edinburgh, TanzBüro Basel and now teaches at Barbara Bortoli Ballet School. She also worked at The Royal Ballet School for two years as Associate Centre Assistant.

A surprise extra episode this week. Elaine chats with writer Claire S Duffy. We chat everything from screen writing, Old Hollywood, first dates and her book event on the 13th April 2024 at St Enoch Centre Glasgow for her series Shadow City. Where Claire will be joined by actress Kirsty Strain for a Q&A. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-the-author-cs-duffy-tickets-868880824937 Claire S Duffy CS Duffy is an indie author from Glasgow, Scotland. She was a screenwriter for over a decade until she caught herself cycling past a production company giving it the finger and decided she didn’t like who the film industry was turning her into. She quit, got a job at a day-care in Stockholm, Sweden, and wrote her first novel while her class of one year olds napped. She has worked in an oil refinery in Ohio and was once almost arrested for carrying a full-sized oar on the London tube. When she’s not writing, she can be found trying (and failing) to learn trapeze, volunteering at her local hospital or nipping to Paris for the weekend because it’s the only place on earth worth online dating.

Today Elaine chats with artist Sarah Hopfinger about her up show Pain and I opening at The tramway on the 8th November then heading to Findhorn on the 11th November. Before a tour round Scotland in 2024. We chat chronic pain, capitalism, loving your body and much more. Ticket links and Audio & Graphic Score Link below https://www.tramway.org/event/bbcdeede-e0be-4264-9c89-b03700b23a24 https://universalhall.co.uk/event/pain-and-i/ https://www.sarahhopfinger.org.uk/pain-and-i-audio-graphic-score-holding Pain and I Glasgow-based queer disabled artist Sarah Hopfinger (she/her) presents her solo performance Pain and I at Tramway, returning to the place of its initial inception from 8-9 November, ahead of a one-night performance at Universal Hall in Findhorn on 11 November 2023.Pain and I is a bold exploration into chronic pain experience that focuses on the lived experience of the artist and performer to explore and celebrate the rich complexities of living with pain, asking ‘what can pain teach us?’ As a piece of work, it invites the audiences to reflect on what it means to care for our bodies, ourselves, and each other in times of personal and collective pain. A powerful, honest and compelling work, the audio features intimate autobiographical text framed as a love letter to Hopfinger’s body and chronic pain, paired with original classical music composition by Alicia Jane Turner (they/them). Presented by a queer disabled creative team that includes Hopfinger and Turner, Pain and I puts the disabled experience centre stage. To further platform and promote access and disability arts, the performance is BSL integrated and there is a freely accessible digital Graphic Score here. As an artist, Sarah Hopfinger’s practice encompasses contemporary performance, dance and live art. Her work is philosophically based in crip politics that embrace and celebrate disability as valid and valuable. She often works with diverse collaborators including children and adults, trained and non-trained dancers, disabled and non-disabled performers, composers and visual artists. https://www.sarahhopfinger.org.uk/ OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room 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 WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/…

Elaine, Rahel and Ellen chat the creation of Disciples, their working process, the joy of a creative rehearsal space and of course we couldn’t avoid the conversation round the Scottish Government breaking their promise to reinstate the 10% cut to Creative Scotland’s budget. Disciples is on at The Traverse Theatre Edinburgh 5-7th October 2023 and Northern Stage Newcastle 7-9th November 2023.

The show is devised in collaboration with five women and non-binary performers who identify as D/deaf and disabled, led by director Rachel Drazek (Movement Director - My Left Right Foot) and poet/playwright and performer Ellen Renton (Within Sight). Disciples is a joyful, dynamic performance that comes to life through a blend of music, movement, text and image - led by poetry. Themes in the piece include finding joy, finding faith, finding power and what happens to the parts of ourselves that we are asked to hide. Questioning who gets to be the storytellers of our experiences, Disciples joins the voices of those working to break down these barriers, in the arts and beyond.

That's how long it takes to die by train. I looked it up once'. Chilufya – you can call her Chili – doesn't know whether she is coming or going. Which makes perfect sense since her name literally means 'the lost one' and lost is exactly how she's felt most of her life. Struggling with low self-esteem and a waning sense of self, she finds herself being drawn into a dangerously controlling relationship. Interweaving spoken-word theatre with Zambian oral traditions this dark comedy is a solo show exploring coercive control.

Incorporating fan-fictional pairings such as Lennon/McCartney and Sherlock/Watson, interspersed with meta commentary by infamous second-wave feminists (Camile Paglia, Andrea Dworkin) and mashed up 80s punk songs, they guide the audience through an infernal fantasia of perverted intertextuality.

She's wise as witches, with a tongue like a lash and a heart of gold. She'll take you on an alchemical, theatrical odyssey on her quest to 'heal the past to heal the future'. Through storytelling, spoken word, song and comedy, no stone is left unturned and no one is left behind. Confronting and adorable, blazing the streets with her message to 'love the eejit out of ourselves', Growler is an inferno at which we can remember our common humanity and warm the cockles of our collective heart.

Quite a weight on your back and finding bras off the rack for a rack that size is near impossible. Despite being an ideal candidate, misogynistic medical standards leave Eva feeling like a tit for asking for a boob reduction – will the whole thing be a bust?

We chat the creation of the show, Hollywood, being a mother in the industry, following your true self and much more. Get your tickets here: http://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/wendy-my-darling Wendy, My Darling Following her return from Neverland, Wendy Darling, now a certified Grown Up, moves to Hollywood to become a writer. This modern take on the classic story of Peter Pan features non-stop multimedia elements with celebrity video appearances by Jon Cryer (Pretty in Pink, Two and a Half Men) and Busy Philipps (Freaks and Geeks, Girls5Eva). Wendy is a charming, potty-mouthed mother to a tweenager who finds herself stuck in a "creative death spiral" as she struggles to stay relevant in a fickle business. Topical, heartfelt and hilarious, Wendy, My Darling is "...a voice for all women who found out hard truths about the real world as they grew up." Orlando Sentinel Through the lens of a newly middle-aged (and truly darling) Wendy Darling, this not-so-solo show is a playful and laugh-out-loud-funny exploration of storytelling and fairy tales. Drawing on the personal experiences of the three creatives at the helm - solo artist April Wish, Emmy Award winning director Krysia Plonka and musician and television producer Tammy Glover - Wendy, My Darling examines the story of “the girl that grew up” through her journey in the Entertainment Industry as it progresses, regresses and stalls in search of gender equality. Collecting awards and delighting audiences all over Canada and the US, Wendy, My Darling is magical, timely and timeless and will be bringing some pixie-dust to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. No, really, you will leave with pixie dust. Second star to the right and straight on ‘till... Hollywood! "This is a beautifully written story about a deeply magical part of growing up..." (...) ...you would be certifiably insane not to see it!"

We discuss the play, changing focus from preforming to writing, the importance of Government support for the arts and much more. Tickets for Traverse Theatre https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/lie-low-festival-23 Abbey Theatre Tickets https://booking.abbeytheatre.ie/events/16365?hidedate TRIGGER WARNING: brief mentions of bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. LIE LOW Faye’s Afraid. She’s not sleeping, she doesn’t trust ducks and all she’s had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Crispies. Award-winning new writing, Lie Low makes its Scottish debut as part of the Traverse Festival 2023. Written by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth and directed by Oisín Kearney, Lie Low is a surreal comedy that offers a theatrical exploration into the human brain via the genitals. After a break-in at her home, Faye is working through trauma, but it’s not moving fast enough. A doctor recommends a form of exposure therapy, so she asks her semi-estranged brother Naoise to help. But Naoise has problems and secrets of his own, and soon the power dynamics are shifting about like mercury on a fork. Lie Low is a darkly funny play that looks at how trauma manifests in the body, filled with bizarre humour, striking visuals and brave, whip smart writing and performed by Charlotte McCurry and Michael Patrick. Lie Low is supported by the MAC and Lyric Theatre Belfast. Originally developed with the support of FRINGE LAB, Fishamble, The Mill Theatre and An Táin Arts Centre. Ciara Elizabeth Smyth Ciara Elizabeth Smyth is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter from Dublin.

It’s an unusual episode this week. Elaine is interviewing our very own Louise Oliver. We get to celebrate one of co-founder’s and their pathway into this industry. We talk Louise’s exciting news her new venture. The launch of her film company Bar Italia Films and it's very first project - In The Room - a powerful and much needed piece. Which is currently crowding funding and will receive Creative Scotland funding through Crowdmatch, where each unique donation is matched by Creative Scotland. . As this episode goes out, they have made it 90% of their target. If you can help them get to 100 % and get this vital piece of cinema made that would be wonderful. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Bar Italia Films – In The Room OUTLINE: CAIT travels to a call-back audition for a film. It’s been a while since an opportunity like this one. In the audition room, she gets on brilliantly with SUZANNE (the casting director) and REBECCA (the writer/director), receiving good vibes and positive feedback on her previous reading. It’s a genuinely exciting project. Cait really wants this one. Suzanne announces that they’ve already cast the male lead, and he’s going to be reading with her today. Before they can reveal who it is, he enters - DANNY - hotshot pretty-boy actor, loved by everyone. Everyone except Cait. She hasn’t forgotten her last encounter with Danny, and what she’s been living with ever since. Unlike everyone else in the room, she sees the predator behind the mask. When they read the scene together, Caits’ fight or flight instinct is triggered. Her trauma tells her to run, but her strength and the opportunity to go off script allows her to fight. With a rage-filled roar of catharsis, the real Danny is exposed, and Cait begins her journey towards healing.

Today Elaine chats with the creative team of the film On The Twelfth Day of Findom. This wonderful bunch discuss the story, the inspiration behind it and their fundraising campaigns to get this brilliant project made. We have writer and co-director Joanne Thomson; co-director Caitlin Black and the producer is our very own Misha McCullagh. On the Twelfth Day of Findom KICKSTARTER LINK ONLYFANS FUN-RAISER A tinny rendition of Twelve Days of Christmas fills a fluorescently lit supermarket aisle as Emma stacks shelves lethargically. A message comes through on her phone. She fishes it out her bra and wipes her boob imprints from the screen. Another rejection from uni. “Unfortunately, we felt you lacked a certain empirical grasp on the subject of Economics and therefore-” Great. She spots another notification. Instagram. 1 message request. Tap. “Ur feet look good. They must be sweaty against those patent loafers. Please may I spoil you?”. Uh-oh. Emma has stumbled upon the world of Findom. And she likes it. Money for nothing? What could go wrong? Over the course of 12 days, the story looks at the culture of our bodies as commodities and where consent lies within that sexual exploration. We go on a rollercoaster of morals behind sex work with a character who’s never really had to think about it; until she takes an involuntary dive into the world herself. Left to question her own empowerment within a new-fangled relationship, she wonders if she really is coming out on top. A window into a little-known world, this is a sexual power trip gone wrong. With Christmas fast approaching, Emma comes to the realisation that a trickle of money has made her unknowingly trade her own safety. Buy one get one free. From behind the camera, we watch her boundary lines become less and less defined until we are left with the sinking feeling that we’re the ones who’ve been complicit all along.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats to the creators of Two Fingers Up Gina Donnelly and Seòn Simpson. How the show came to be, sex education, female masturbation. The pleasure if enjoying your own body and more. TW: there is mention of an assault case from Northern Ireland. Two Fingers Up What do you remember of sex education and puberty? Or at least, what can you remember that you haven’t blotted out? For many we were given the archaic and established believes that our parents and grandparents were told; of how to act, what to shave and what not to do, with much of the suggestions being a way to ‘control’ our bodies – that’s right, we’re talking abstinence. Unapologetic, unfiltered, and uncompromising, Two Fingers Up grasps the audience by the unmentionables and drags them down to the confusing level of adolescence. And shifting from young girls of ten into teenage years, Sarah Reid, Orla Graham and Shannon Wilkinson transmogrify themselves through the experiences and confusions. As the dynamics of the production move forward, the emotional integrity shifts from comedic, to intimacy, to revolutionary and a call of action and acceptance. Seón Simpson and Gina Donnelly’s writing has a precision of understanding in an eloquent (and not so eloquent) manner, but the direction in places needs a tighter fisted approach – particularly in the shows more aggressive sequences. Disconnecting any personal bias from the agreement with what the writing covers, Two Fingers Up contains itself as a well-developed and crafted piece of theatre. Not only this, but the production also works well as a piece of film – streaming over demand for Summerhall. Gavin Pedan’s filmmaking retains the authenticity of the stage while allowing a few snippet changes in camera angles to draw audiences closer to the facial expression of the cast. And outside of the occasional lighting change, Oisín Jayat’s sound design brings additional erratic momentum to the production .The energetic trio bound around the stage, utilising the space to its fullest in their exploration of humour and jest. As expected, comedy is the centrefold holding together the meticulous commentary and shoe-string narrative. Playing multiple roles, crossing age milestones, and experiencing the wonders of masturbation, love and their first dick pics, the performances form accessibility to the audience with exuberant expression, timing, and accessibility. But this doesn’t devalue the fear and anxieties present in young women in Northern Ireland. The trio effortlessly conveys the impending dread to a nation with systemic issues of religious impressions onto sex education and freedoms. They challenge the stigma of sex and women in Northern Ireland head-on and do so while infusing a sterling understanding and belief in Seón Simpson and Gina Donnelly’s writing. They openly grasp the idiotic notion of denied pleasure, or the idea of pain and ‘first-time’ sex in women, broaching an openness with the audience to discover themselves.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats with director Katie Jackson about their new play Visiting Cezanne. We chat the industry as a whole, coming through the pandemic, being nonbinary in the arts and much more. Visiting Cezanne How does an artist keep going when all seems hopeless? Seeking an answer, a failed artist in New York visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2016. From there she unexpectedly travels to an artist’s studio in southern France in 1900. She desperately wants to get back to her home in 2016 but Paul Cezanne, another obscure artist with his own problems, is not being helpful. Also ensnared in this crisis are Cezanne’s gardener and an art historian from Utah. This play's creative team is Glasgow-based. SHOW: TICKETS WEBSITE: redrovertheatre.com KATIE JACKSON Katie is a theatre director based between Glasgow and London. Having started out as a stage manager, Katie has worked professionally in theatre since 2014 and started to move into directing in 2019.During the pandemic, they relocated to Glasgow to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, completing a Master of Fine Arts Degree in January 2022.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats with director Jen McGregor and actor Catherine Bissett about their new play The Masks of Oscar Wilde. A great conversation about covering many things from queer culture to pushing buttons with theatre to make people really think. The Masks of Oscar Wilde Man of letters. Aesthete. Victorian moralist. Playwright. Oscar Wilde wore many masks. But as a well–meaning professor and his eager student trace the life of the legendary writer, it becomes clear there may be more masks waiting in the shadows. As they dig deeper, we begin to wonder. Are they hiding something? What if some masks are better left in the shadows? A test of wits, of "truth", and an examination of the fabulous and scandal-ridden life of Oscar Wilde and the man behind the masks.

A Lady Does Not Scratch Her Crotch Once upon a time, there was a young girl – not a princess or a pretty girl waiting to be one. No dress fanned out as she sat. She could barely sit in a dress. She saw no happily ever after on the horizon. Fresh from New York, ‘Cahn's sincerity and sharp humour are truly winning – I couldn’t stop laughing through the entire show’ (TheEasy.com). From princesses to periods, a look at gender, sexuality, and the near impossibility of growing up.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Louise and Elaine chat Ania Upstill over Zoom. A clown bringing their show Transhumance to the Festival for the first time. We chat moving from directing to clowning and the gender binary. Transhumance Take a surreal journey through the landscape of gender with Transhumance, winner of a Best Weekly Award for Circus and Physical Theatre at Adelaide Fringe in 2020. Award-winning clown Ania Upstill playfully explores what it means to be a trans human—or any human—in a society where the gender binary often blocks us from the richness of human experience. Join Ania Upstill (they/them), a NYC-based theatre and circus artist for a heartfelt, physical exploration of gender norms. As a genderqueer and queer performer, the American Kiwi Upstill is excited to bring Transhumance to the largest theatre festival in the world. “I think of Edinburgh as the great art hub of humanity,” says Upstill, “and I know we will find an audience that needs, wants, and will enjoy this journey.” For Upstill, clowning brings buoyancy, joy and fun into the heated conversations around trans and nonbinary identities. ‘I think often we only hear about how difficult it is to be part of a gender minority, for instance having to explain your pronouns all the time. And yes, it is hard,’ says Upstill, ‘but it is also beautiful and exciting to be able to play with all the performative aspects of gender and find what feels right to you.’ Transhumance comes to the Fringe laden with praise from America and New Zealand: 'A work of joy and playfulness – whimsical, witty and replete with wonder' (TheatreView.org.nz). 'Manages to be both a deeply personal story of self-identification and a universal experience of gender paradigms' (TheatreScenes.co.nz). Ania Upstill started identifying as genderqueer and using they/them pronouns in 2018. ‘I started seeing more and more content about non-binary identities online. I remember I started to sob uncontrollably because I realized, ‘oh, that’s me too’. I think we often overlook how a binary concept of gender isn’t really fun for anyone, including people who identify as cisgender.’ The title of the show, Transhumance, happens to also be an agricultural term meaning to move sheep – or other livestock – across a landscape in a migratory pattern. For Upstill, this reflects how gender is both a limitless landscape and an intriguing place to explore. Thinkery & Verse co-artistic director JM Meyer also observes that ‘the multiple meanings of transhumance also demonstrate both the jolly usefulness of prefix ‘trans,’ and the pleasure of slant rhyming with ‘romance.’ SHOW: transhumance INSTAGRAM: @butchmermaid WEBSITE: aniaupstill.com PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK ASN.COM- DONATE LINKTREE P&N Linktr PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/persistentandnasty for those who can donate.

Our first in person Podcast recording since February 2020. BLOOD HARMONY When siblings sing together, the music is special. All the more beautiful for the bond between them, it’s called a blood harmony. Sisters Anna, Maia, and Chloe have lost their mum. And now, thrown together in the attic of their childhood home, they must work out what happens next. High-flying Anna wants to swoop in and problem solve, whilst chaotic Maia can’t stop cracking jokes, and caught in the middle is Chloe, who cared for their mum at the end of her life. The trio have never seen eye-to-eye, and without Mum holding them together, what’s to stop them falling apart? Featuring songs from Atlantic Records artists The Staves, beautiful harmonies and stunning visuals, Blood Harmony is an uplifting and universal story about moving on, and the healing power of family – love them or loathe them. Created by award-winning theatre company ThickSkin (How Not to Drown, Eavesdropping), this is a show for anyone who’s ever shared tears and laughter to cope with loss. A show that’ll make you want to pull your family closer, and hold them tighter.

Today Elaine chats with the brilliant writer, engineer and activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied. We are thrilled to have Yassmin back on the podcast. Yassmin and Elaine discuss her new book TALKING ABOUT A REVO-LUTION. Which is a collection of Yassmin’s essays over the last 10 years. We also discuss how the western world is still dealing with the Thatcher/Reagan era. The loss of community, intergenerational connection, cancel culture, being open to listening to others. The good, bad and ugly of social media. YASSMIN ABDEL-MAGIED Whether through literary essays, educational TikTok’s or live television broadcast, Yassmin is an assured and intelligent voice, analysing society’s systemic challenges, reframing established narratives, and making complex ideas accessible to all. Yassmin has published four books, written two plays, and is currently developing a number of projects for screen. In non-fiction, Yassmin writes on politics, technology, and culture, exploring how we can collectively build a more just world. In her fiction and scripted work, Yassmin enjoys examining rich, complex themes and centring Black Muslim women (with a healthy dose of humour!). An award-winning speaker and globally sought-after advisor on issues at the intersections of race, gender and faith, Yassmin has delivered keynotes and workshops in 25 countries in Arabic, English and a smattering of French. She founded her first organisation, Youth Without Borders, at the age of 16, leading it for nine years before co-founding two other organisations focused on serving women of colour. Yassmin is currently a Trustee of the London Library and Stakeholder Committee Chair with the Black Writers Guild. Her TED talk has been viewed over 2.5 million times and recognised as one of TED’s top 10 ideas.
