For the 2nd episode of the trilogy, James is chatting to the founder and artistic director of the nationally renowned and Suffolk-based theatre company " Red Rose Chain", Joanna Carrick.
Joanna set up the company in 1990 and since then has directed and adapted many brilliant productions, including their highly acclaimed annual "Theatre in the Forest".
Not only does the company produces brilliantly reviewed shows, they also hold many community workshops and groups with young people, people with learning disabilities, prisoners, and more. They believe theatre should be accessible to everyone.
Joanna is also a playwright, particularly writing many historical plays. Notably, Joanna wrote the "Tudor Trilogy", three plays all set in Tudor times. One of the plays, "Fallen in Love: The Secret Heart of Anne Boleyn", played at the Tower of London.
In the interview, James chats to Joanna about how Red Rose Chain used lockdown and isolation as a creative opportunity instead of a boundary, the amazing youth theatre the company has, and they will also be discussing the terrifying witch puppets which will be used in the company's production of "Macbeth".
Red Rose Chain is bringing "Macbeth" to Sutton Hoo in Woodbridge from the 27th July 2022 to 20th August 2022. Tickets will be available for purchase soon from https://redrosechain.com
