Welcome to this bonus episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Fresh from her Olivier Award win for Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 and her captivating turn in Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Maimuna Memon is returning to the stage with a show that truly defined her as a powerhouse creator: hit gig-theatre musical, Manic Street Creature, which runs at the Kiln Theatre for a strictly limited run this March.

Sarah Crompton and Alex 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.

The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms – including Apple Podcasts and Audible. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
