S03 E05 - Episode 5 - "Tins" & Ashley Lauren Rogers
Hello there and welcome, once again, to Theatrical Shenanigans as we reach the half way point of this third season. For todays episode we have the great privilege of producing the first script of UK based playwright, Pauline Watts who only recently started playwriting as the result of attending a script/playwriting class in Kingston-Upon-Thames, UK.
Her play "Tins" is based on a true story about a husband who wanted to inform the congregation at his wife’s funeral that she had stopped him fulfilling his true potential. In "Tins" we meet four sisters who find something out about their mum that they didn’t expect.
Accompanying this fabulous play, I get to have a chat with Brooklyn based playwright Ashley Lauren Rogers (https://newplayexchange.org/users/6296/ashley-lauren-rogers & https://www.ashleylaurenrogers.com/)
