How has stage door etiquette changed?

It’s a packed agenda on this week’s episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast.

First up, Sarah Crompton reflects on her latest trip north of the border to talk on a panel about all things criticism, alighting on the subject of critic Arifa Akbar’s wonderful series on criticism available on BBC Sounds.

From there, Alex Wood and Crompton mull over Sarah’s fantastic interview with Alicia Vikander, due to sail onto the London stage this autumn in The Lady from the Sea.

Finally, the pair discuss the hot topic of stage door etiquette and expectations, after Broadway legend Audra McDonald posted a video about an intense experience after a performance of Gypsy.

Crompton and Wood host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.
