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 very Brighton musical
Opening next month (3-4 May) during the Fringe festival is 'Joan the Musical', a new stage production written and produced by Hannah Doyle and Melanie Bell, and directed by Summer Tewkesbury. In an exclusive interview, writer Hannah talks us through the development of this Brighton-focused project, from its inception last September through to the rehearsal stage. We then take up the story with cast member Geraldine Afifi, who takes the title role of Joan (and incidentally tickles the ivories at the beginning of this podcast), before signing off with Hannah, as she performs one of the songs from the musical.
