Doing the work with Diane Samuels

from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue

Playwright Diane Samuels has been working in theatre for more than 30 years, and her back catalogue includes 1993’s Kindertransport, winner of the Verity Bargate and Meyer-Whitworth awards. She’s back with new play As Long As We Are Breathing, which tells the real-life story of Miriam Friedman who, as a child in Slovakia during World War II, hid from the Nazis to survive the Holocaust. Jen chatted to Diane about trauma, grief, forgiveness and whether or not we still have cause to hope. As Long As We Are Breathing is showing at the Arcola Theatre, London, until March 1.
