Who does theatre privilege? Who does it exclude? How can we do better?

Join us as we talk to actor and creative Becky Bowe, Artistic Director of the Actors Touring Company; Matthew Xia, and actor and disability activist; Mandy Colleran. We discuss middle-class codes, inclusive drama schools and the representation of working-class disabled artists.

We also hear from John and Martha Godber of the Godber Theatre Foundation about creating accessible, successful work in the North, as well as how they support the young theatre-makers of Hull and East Yorkshire.
