After post-show Q&As for Tonight with Donnie Darko, Vincent River, Angry and Tender Napalm, I'm delighted to be invited to chair another discussion with Philip Ridley, one of the UK's greatest and most innovative living playwrights. This time for the live stage premiere of his online lockdown hit The Poltergeist.
Tender Napalm
After Q&As to Tonight with Donny Stixx, Angry and Vincent River, I am thrilled to get my teeth into another Philip Ridley play: Lidless Theatre's tenth-anniversary revival of Tender Napalm.

Philip Ridley's Vincent River was premiered at Hampstead Theatre in 2000 and has been revived fairly regularly in the intervening years, including this production which was first seen at the Park Theatre last year and has now transferred to the West End's Trafalgar Studio.

What a treat to pay my first visit to London's newest venue - The Bunker, carved out of a carpark beneath the Menier Chocolate Factory - to host this post-show Q&A for Tonight with Donny Stixx.
