The PlayMakers programme from Manchester-based theatre company Box of Tricks is a creative network of Northern playwrights and theatre makers: an ‘engine room for new plays’. Offering masterclasses and residencies, Box of Tricks commissions new work through this programme and creates ongoing relationships with playwrights. The PlayMakers podcast is an offshoot of the programme, showcasing a range of conversations with people working in writing and creating theatre.
The podcast showcases predominantly northern voices, interviewing those from within the Box of Tricks family and beyond. Highlights include Succession staff writer Jamie Carragher, theatre director Matthew Xia and actor Lauren-Nicole Mayes, who took her one-woman show to the Edinburgh Fringe last year. Hosted by director and dramaturg Karla Marie Sweet, the conversations tend to explore how the interviewees entered the industry, found their speciality and gave their art a broader platform.
