Roger Allam on returning to the Old Vic, Les Misérables and playing a testicle for Alan Ayckbourn

Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

With Sarah Crompton on foreign shores, Alex Wood heads to the Old Vic rehearsal room to chat to stage and screen legend Roger Allam. Known for his TV and stage appearances in the likes of The Thick of It, Les Misérables and Frank and Percy, Allam is back on stage this summer in How the Other Half Loves at the Old Vic. And, apparently, he played a certain body part in an Ayckbourn radio play.

Allam also touches on the topic of amplification and seeing his greats at the Old Vic when he was young.

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.
