ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ooh do we have a treat in store for you Scripties! After discussing The Funeral Director on episode 4 of this series we are over the moon to be bringing you this very special interval interview episode of the pod, with the playwright herself, Iman Qureshi. Getting to hear Iman talk so openly and honestly about her work was a real privilege - AND she got to settle The Great Tea Debate between Lexie and Meg.
So enjoy this bonus ep and we'll see you back next week for S4Ep7 and a brand new play in discussion!
Please be aware that in the pay there is one scene in which a baby is prepared for burial, and we discuss that on today's episode with Iman between 28.20-30.45
Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
