TravCast - Sue MacLaine

TravCast is the podcast from the Traverse, Scotland’s new writing theatre. Literary Associate, Rosie Kellagher, interviews well known playwrights and theatre-makers whose work features in the year round programme at the Traverse. In this episode, Rosie Speaks to Sue MacLaine. Sue is a UK theatre-maker, with a singularly driven voice, making work because she has to with the stakes of her investigations are high. She casts a fearless gaze - on both herself and her subject to write scripts that are bleakly funny, challenging whilst remaining compassionate and warm. She is particularly interested in marrying form with subject and was short-listed in 2012 for a Total Theatre Award in the category of 'Innovation, experimentation, and playing with form' for her work Still Life: An Audience with Henrietta Moraes which continues to tour art spaces and galleries. http://www.suemaclaine.com/ Original music by James Iremonger www.jamesiremonger.co.uk Conceived, produced and engineered by Cian O Siochain
