Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

As he launches his new book about starring in Samuel Beckett’s Godot opposite Ben Whishaw, Lucian Msamati sits down with chief critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief Alex Wood to lift the lid on the mood behind the scenes, the behaviour of audiences and why theatre is still like gym for young actors.

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.

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!
