For our third episode, we are joined by Roy Alexander Weise. Roy is now the Artistic Director at the Royal Exchange in Manchester; Manchester also happens to be where he told his Nan he was going to university when he was actually joining us at Rose Bruford drama school! Roy chats about his many successful plays, including Nine Night at the National Theatre, which was so popular it transferred to the West End. Roy enticed a new audience into the theatre with his exciting production, and with new audiences comes new etiquette. Lots of funny stories unfold!
