In our first episode, we are joined by Allie Daniel and Iz Hesketh. Allie and Iz appeared in the Hope Mill production of Rent and the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of Legally Blonde, both of which featured a queer and diverse cast and creative team.
We discuss how trans and non-binary actors are foregrounded in these productions, and how we can continue to support trans and non-binary people in the musical theatre industry. We focus on intersections between queer people and women of colour, as well as highlighting the importance of creating queer spaces within theatre.
Allie is currently appearing in Happy Meal by Tabby Lamb at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh and then on tour through August and September.
