This week Miriam speaks to Apphia Campbell, writer, performer, actor, brilliant woman. We talk about the themes that emerge from Apphia’s work - plays Woke and Black is the Colour of My Voice. References we wander to and forth from are Michaela Coel writer and creator of Chewing Gum and about her headline TV Festival Lecture 2018, Netflix’s Kalief Browder Documentary and Gary Younge’s Another Day in the Death of America. It’s not all doom and gloom, “change is happening - which is why Apphia feels all is so disrupted” - paraphrased direct quote there. But expect to come away with a reading list! We spoke for so long we are going to make a bonus ep next week to cover when the conversation developed into showbizniz management rather than Civil Rights Movements and their place in theatres.
