In our sixth and final episode, Prof. David Stevenson is joined by QMU Class of 2009 Drama & Theatre Arts graduate, the Scottish Playwright and Screenwriter Stef Smith.

Stef has had an incredibly successful career writing for stage, screen and radio. Her plays include Nora: A Doll’s House, Swallow, Enough and the Oliver-award-winning Roadkill.

Her recent screen credits include, Float, the BBC Scotland drama, which shines a light on the lives of LGBTQ+ teens living in rural communities.

We have a fascinating conversation as Stef shares her love for telling stories. Stef takes us back to her QMU days which include learning the importance of making mistakes, sharing halls with a pigeon and the weekly bus from student halls to Mood Nightclub (an old haunt for many QMU graduates).

So, relax and enjoy ‘Going off script with... Stef Smith’.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
