In this series, Theatre Deli Co-Artistic Director Roland Smith talks to the theatremakers, artists and performers who are inspiring a new generation of practitioners across the UK.
Through their conversations they explore all the different facets of people's experience of being an artist working in performance.

First series includes interviews with Tom Morris (Bristol Old Vic, National Theatre), Lee Simpson (Improbable), writer Vinay Patel and director Nadia Latif.
