Writers talking to writers

Zakia Sewell: 'I was in Wales over the weekend, and you see the Welsh flag everywhere. And it elicits a very different response in me to the St George's Cross, which is ostensibly my flag.'

In conversation with Colin Grant

Ryan Calais Cameron: '"I never wanted to get to the point where I was in my acting, where you could put me in a box. If that was the point, what's the point of having all the creativity in the world and you can only talk about one aspect of life?"'

In conversation with Delon Jessop

Rianna Simons: 'I think there are two things going on in the play that I try to do. One of them is the characters trying to do something as opposed to doing nothing, and then there's the whole thing of being seen to do something.'

In conversation with Luca Newman
