03 Marcella Evaristi

In the third interview for Life in Scents, playwright and screenwriter Marcella Evaristi speaks to Jo Barratt and Odette Toilette about some of the smells that have punctuated her life. From fish suppers on wet winter evenings to the metaphysical joys of turpentine, her sensory experiences are divided between the 'electric greyness' of her home city Glasgow, to the vivifying scents of her ancestral Italy where choosing the perfect white peach marked a poignant ritual for father and daughter. We hear about being chased by Vicks VaporRub, the magic of sofrito, and why Marcella can't walk past an art shop without sticking her head in and having a good sniff. acast.com/privacy for more information.
