In this powerful and timely episode, Adam sits down with Olivier Award-winning director-turned-writer Mark Rosenblatt, the creative force behind Giant, the searing and sensational play that explores the genius and the darkness of Roald Dahl. Starring the legendary John Lithgow—who also took home an Olivier for Best Actor—Giant dives deep into the tangled web of brilliance, grief, controversy, and antisemitism that surrounded one of the world's most beloved and most complicated authors. Recorded in front of a live audience in central London to mark the 20th anniversary of The Heart Cells Foundation, this episode celebrates creativity, courage, and the quiet revolution of stepping into your truth. Just three days before filming, Mark received his own Olivier at the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Ewan McGregor and Elizabeth Debicki. In an emotional and honest conversation, he shares what it felt like to be recognised for his first-ever play and the journey that took him from self-doubt to centre stage. Mark reveals how the seed for Giant was planted when Sir Nicholas Hytner casually suggested he might try writing—an idea that sat dormant until lockdown gave him the space to bring it to life. Inspired by his own childhood love of Dahl's stories, and compelled by the writer's antisemitic remarks during the Lebanon War era, Mark began to unpick the moral complexity of Dahl's legacy. Rather than cancelling Dahl, Mark chose to examine him—with empathy, intellectual honesty, and a dramatic lens that lets the audience grapple with their own beliefs. We talk about the emotional weight of writing as a British Jew exploring antisemitism, the tension of launching a controversial play amid the Israel-Gaza conflict, and how Dahl's personal tragedies—from his daughter's death to his son's life-altering accident—informed both his work and Giant itself. With John Lithgow perfectly cast as Dahl (thanks to Hytner's inspired suggestion) and Elliot Levey winning Best Supporting Actor, Giant has become one of the most talked-about plays in the West End. A Broadway transfer is on the cards. This episode is a tribute to the healing power of art, the bravery of reinvention, and the impact of asking bold questions in a world that often demands easy answers.

As always, we watch multiple productions of the play and share our thoughts.  Join us as we discuss 1999's film version directed by Michael Hoffman which features a star-studded cast and incredible scenery alongside the National Theatre's 2019 production starring Gwendoline Christie as Titania which was notable for swapping Titania and Oberon's language for most of the play.  You'll also learn why Elyse struggles to enjoy productions of this play and the pitfalls in which she believes most productions fall.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we usually talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today, however, we talk about Oscar movies (!) that time has relegated to B-Side status. To tackle such a task, Dan and Conor welcome the incredible Chris Feil of the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast. In their discussions, our guest and his co-host Joe Reid dive into myriad films that were released to significant awards buzz, only to earn zero Academy Award nominations. In today's episode, we each choose one film to focus on. Conor's pick is the 1976 Woody Guthrie biopic Bound For Glory. The film earned six Oscar nominations, including wins for Cinematography and Best Music, Adapted. Chris' pick is Ironweed from 1987, starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, adapted from William Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. Both stars earned lead acting nominations at the 1988 Oscars, though neither won. As for Dan, he chose 1994's The Madness of King George, directed by theater legend Nicholas Hytner and starring Nigel Hawthorne. This adaptation of the Alan Bennett earned four Academy Award nominations, including a win for Art Direction. For those keeping score, this was the “infamous” Oscar ceremony that David Letterman hosted. Spoiler alert: it's pretty funny! UMA...OPRAH! There's also a bit of chatter about Chariots of Fire, a Best Picture winner that we argue now sadly lives in B-Side seclusion. Most reading will know the film for its score alone. As Chris beautifully puts it: “It's the first score to win Best Picture.” Much is made of each Oscar year, from the surprises to the snubs. Oh, and also, we talk about Center Stage, also directed by Hytner! Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter at @TFSBSide.

In this episode, we are joined by Richard Hytner, author of 'Consiglieri: Leading from the Shadow' and founder of the creative management consultancy firm, 'beta baboon' and, now, leadership coach and facilitator, Blue Hat Man. Richard shares with us his wealth of experience from working with some of the world's largest businesses. He unpacks his theory that leadership is a collective endeavour and how some leaders are better in a supporting leadership role, as a 'C Leader'. He talks about his time as a CEO at 'Saatchi & Saatchi' and how early empowerment of junior leaders is the pathway to success. Finally, Richard discusses how enabling creativity is the key to recruiting and retaining young talent and how we should channel our 'inner baboon' when solving problems: "rip it apart, play with it, solve it."   

2020 has been disastrous for the arts in Britain and many people have lost their jobs as Covid-19 has swept through the country. Sir Nicholas Hytner has been working in the theatre for nearly four decades and he tells Andrew Marr about the unprecedented challenges that now face his industry. Hytner made his name and fortune in the 1990s with the musical Miss Saigon. Further successes came with theatre and film productions of The Madness of King George and The History Boys, and the sell-out One Man, Two Guvnors. He ran the National Theatre for twelve years before setting up his own commercial venture – with his business partner Nick Starr – the Bridge Theatre. During the year of the pandemic Hytner has sought to keep the theatre afloat with performances of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads, and a specially adapted, socially distanced, but joyful, version of A Christmas Carol.

Why second-in-command is sometimes best. The mere mention of consiglieri conjures up images of The Godfather but beyond Hollywood the roles of the assistants – the No2s – are essential to any leader and organisation. This formed the central tenet of Richard Hytner’s 2015 book Consiglieri: Leading From the Shadows, which he discussed onstage at the 2015 Leaders Sport Performance Summit in London. For the book, he interviewed a wealth of seconds-in-command across the worlds of sport, business and politics in order to establish why in his view, second can sometimes be best. Here, we dip into the Leaders Performance Institute archives to bring you Hytner’s session. Then serving as Deputy Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi, he was well-placed to delve into the reasons why second-in-command can sometimes be best providing there is a strong dynamic between the No1 and the No2. Hytner illustrates his point by explaining: -Why ‘seconds’ matter to the ‘firsts’. -The need to appreciate charismatic leaders. -The honour and contentment to be found as a No2.   -The importance of generating emotions, as well as liberating, educating and anchoring leaders.
