The Brighton Babbler
Picking up on the everyday social and political issues – and historic ones too – that impact on lives across Brighton and Hove, the Babbler aims to generate greater awareness of those issues, at a time when existing news coverage in the city sometimes seems to be in retreat. The podcast name may hint at whimsy, but the intent is unashamedly serious.
The Brighton Babbler
A life backstage
In this episode, we hear from Graeme Taylor, whose career in stage management at the Theatre Royal in Brighton lasted more than four decades. In conversation with historian James Gardner, Graeme – now retired – talks about life backstage and the peculiar demands of working in a 'hemp house'. He also reveals a very personal connection with this historic venue.
