The report the theatre world can’t ignore: Women’s health in the spotlight with special guest Emily Vaughan-Barratt

Welcome to this week’s episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast.

Following a high-profile launch for the Women’s Health in Theatre report at the Harold Pinter Theatre last week, WhatsOnStage’s chief critic Sarah Crompton sat down with the report’s pioneer, award-winning producer Emily Vaughan-Barratt, at her offices in London.

The report’s finding were an uncompromising reminder of the constant hurdles placed in front of women in the theatre industry – with issues around fertility, menopause and childcare all brought into sharp focus.

The report didn’t just cover those on stage – but also those behind the scenes and working across theatreland’s offices and front-of-house areas. So what are the next steps? How can the situation be helped? And who are the unsung heroes helping those in need?
