Stephen DaldryEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Welcome to the Directors UK Podcast! In this episode we’re treated to a fantastic conversation between George C. Wolfe, director of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and fellow director Stephen Daldry. George spoke to Stephen about how he created his multi-oscar-nominated film, from the importance of hair and makeup, directing the snappy dialogue, and working with Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Having worked back to back on The Jungle and The Inheritance at the Young Vic, Justin Martin, long-time collaborator with Stephen Daldry, spoke to us about his "14 year conversation" with the Oscar nominated director and his career to date making "theatre that's necessary" and getting his work "off the arts pages...and finding yourself part of the national conversation". An Australian native, Justin talks through his first experiences with theatre between his early musicals and trying to break down his family's comic timing. Justin also discusses taking Billy Elliot to the US, developing The Jungle with Stephen Daldry and Joe Robinson and Joe Murphy and the differences between directing for theatre and his work as associate director on Netflix's The Crown and The Inheritance at the Young Vic.
