Podcasts about documentary theatre

Despite my swearing off Wrongfully Convicted podcasts, I found myself watching a similarly themed docu-series recently. I was maybe halfway into the first episode before I realized it was a doozy of a wrongful conviction case. Were it not for the theatre element, I might have quit watching right then. I'm glad I stuck around. Mind Over Murder is about the impact a murder had on a small town in Nebraska called Beatrice (Bay-AA-trice). Six people were sent to prison for the crime, then pardoned and exonerated but it's still a painful and contentious issue in the town, even decades after the events. The documentary shows us people who are still convinced that the exonerated people did it and tells the stories of many of the people involved. All of that would have been enough for a fascinating documentary – but happening alongside it is a community theatre production of a verbatim style show about the situation. Not surprisingly, for this theatre maker, the theatrical element was the most touching piece. The show brings the community together in incredibly moving ways and changes minds that previously seemed as though they'd be fixed in their beliefs forever.

Being on TV, radio and in the theatre is a challenging profession. Anyone who stands in front of audiences with their work (or fears the prospect) will appreciate that it requires some great skills and a thick skin! As does choosing a different career path and re-inventing yourself.

She is best known for her role as Angie Freeman in Coronation Street, in the 1990s. Deborah has since published many plays and has recently founded Claybody Theatre Company. She is also a guest lecturer in Playwriting, Documentary Theatre and Acting at Staffordshire University in the UK. Join us for what will be a fascinating and unique show on Be More. Achieve More. Unique includes the little known fact that Debbie is not only a childhood friend but in fact see us together and you might even spot a family resemblance!
