What do you get when you mix a classical trained actress, a puppeteer, a fringe festival and the emotional backbone of a thousand shows?
You get Platts, the most beloved and battle hardened stage manager in showbiz.
In this backstage deep dive, Platts shares what it's really like to run a show from the wings. From managing sweaty quick changes and rogue acrobats to keeping artists emotionally afloat with affirmations and making sure they’ve got the right pair of knickers or the world is over.
We cover everything:
• The art of solving problems before they happen
• Accidentally getting turkey sl@ppt mid quick change
• How you stop noticing backstage nudity
• Being married while touring the world for months apart
• How the journey started with puppeteering and acting
• The definitive answer to the best Leatherman to own
• And how pretty and talented acrobats are.............
Platts has built tents, run massive venues, lit entire shows, and picked artists up off the floor emotionally and literally.
This one is for the unsung heroes who make the magic happen and anyone who’s ever panicked about their props being set just 'right'.
