Kate Pakenham - Producer
from The Making Theatre Podcast Hosted by James Farncombe and Bruno Poet
This time we are talking to Kate Pakenham, an independent producer with a passion for theatre, and a drive to make work with a strong social purpose. We learn how each show can be compared to a mini start-up, and how producing, even when you can line some things up, is always a leap of faith.

We hear about when to be in the room, when not to be, and a sage piece of parental advice; when in doubt, make people tea.
