S03E06 - Stairway to Heaven

Stairway to Heaven  The best theatrical productions are often inspired by real life occurrences, and this week’s guests Anthony Merryweather and Emma Woodhouse have an incredible true tale to tell in their brand new musical, ‘The Truth Stops Here’. The tragic story certainly isn’t common knowledge, but along with the third member of the production team Nick Paterson, Anthony and Emma have created a brilliant and powerful show to make this little-known yet shocking event considerably more main-stream. Drewling Samantics regulars may recall Sam being in the cast for the development workshop and subsequent concert performances of ‘The Truth Stops Here’ back in the summer, and he is returning to the cast as the musical moves on to a fully staged version, but before that happens he and Drew have the honour of chatting to its creators and finding out the origins of the piece, how those involved in the real disaster have been memorialised, and much more besides. Today’s show also has some exclusive recordings from the workshop, and gives subscribers a chance to win tickets to a performance of the show in January, so tune in or you might miss out!  Social Media Facebook.com/DrewlingSamantics Instagram.com/DrewlingSamantics Twitter.com/Drew_and_Sam Youtube.com/channel/UCUoVYL_Qzd_hgwzCCd2dafQ EsherTheatre.com/TheTruthStopsHere Instagram.com/TheTruthstopsHere TheTruthStopsHere.com RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1696714.rss Music Anthony Merryweather - Starting Today, There’s Nothing Like The Gas, 19 Steps Vlad Gluschenko - Sunny Winter Day Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en Ping us a message - we love to hear your thoughts!
