Script In Hand

A podcast for theatre lovers where directors @lexiew99 & @_Meg_Rob yammer on about their passion for play scripts.

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

Seasons Greetings Scripties! And thank you so much for your continued listening and support; 2023 ended up being a very busy year for us so the pod took a bit of a backseat, but we can’t wait to bring you new eps in 2024! In the meantime here are some fun facts from our #Wrapped

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

We LOVE to see new writing at The Globe! And whilst we love all writers equally, we’re gonna give a big whoop whoop to two of our pod guests who are on this list! Congratulations @AmyTrigg and @TheTabbyLamb! 🎉🥳🎉. Make sure you get your tickets booked folks! 🎟️

The cover. The dedication.

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

this was such fun to do, and what a lovely bunch of students- we got stuck into the complexities of Waiting for Godot and think we can now some it up as ‘Time Soup.’

Thank you for having me! -Lexie

[Perf_Arts Loreto @loretoperf_arts]

New Annie Baker play coming to the National this is not a drill! 😍🚨‼️

[National Theatre @NationalTheatre]

INFINITE LIFE in the Dorfman / Nov 2023

A minute of this is an infinity.

Annie Baker’s new play is a surprisingly funny inquiry into the complexity of suffering, and what it means to desire in a body that’s failing you.

James Macdonald directs. A co-pro with @AtlanticTheater.

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

This is a brilliant offer and we may have just picked up four plays ourselves 🤩

Happy #worldtheatreday 💙💛

Here are ALL the plays we have had the pleasure to read & discuss.

The best part about doing this podcast is doing the reading!

If you want to improve your knowledge then our advice is buddy up, hold each other accountable & discuss them 💙💛

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

😂 @_Meg_Rob coming in strong with the memes this morning!

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

@jessicacaca7 👋hi Jess! We love a fellow theatre pod, can’t wait to tune in :) we like to talk play scripts on ours if that sounds up your street. Often with odd tangents and occasionally with spangly theatre special guests 🎭😁

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

We didn’t shout about it last week as Meg and Lexie were a wee bit swamped with Christmas work and shows, BUT our Season 4 Wrap Up is out now!

Listen to find out which characters from this season would make our Oceans 11 squad, and which play should be adapted with Muppets 😉

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]

Thank you Scripties!! 🥳

[Script In Hand @ScriptinHandpod]
