UK playwright Sophie Swithinbank joins the podcast to share the journey of her play Bacon from Soho to Soho, from the early development at London's Soho Theatre to the current production at New York's Soho Playhouse. The conversation delves into the play's unusual structure of dual narrators and overlapping memories, the evolution of the play's themes throughout its dozen drafts, and the contrasts between UK and US new play development.

Bacon is running at the Soho Playhouse as part of the International Fringe Encore Play Series through January 28th. Find out more at www.sohoplayhouse.com.
