Interval Drinks podcast

Join us for a G&T or your interval tipple of choice as our first in-house podcast series brings together our current actors with RSC artists who have inspired them.

The first episode features actor and comedian Miles Jupp in conversation with legendary singer/songwriter and comedian Tim Minchin, who this year joins us in celebrating a decade since Matilda The Musical opened in the West End. The series’ guests include Dr John Kani, Adjoa Andoh, Charlotte Arrowsmith, Justin Audibert, Paul Chahidi and Juliet Gilkes Romero.

Grab your interval drink and get the chance to find out more about some of the theatre's leading lights, their career as well as the history of the RSC, the craft of modern theatre and secrets of life backstage.
