One to One - Critics and the Criticised: Luke Jones meets Simon Godwin
Download Critics and the Criticised: Luke Jones meets Simon Godwin
Imagine this: you've spent months, years even, working on a show. Now it's press night. Sat in a silent row, or peppered around the theatre, are the people whose life's work is to criticise yours - the critics. So what’s it like when your lovingly crafted new play opens and you see them out there, ready to tell the world what they think of it? Top theatre director Simon Godwin, who's worked at the National Theatre, the Bristol Old Vic and is now at Washington DC's Shakespeare Theatre Company, bares his soul about how it really feels when the lights go down and the little notebooks come out.
Presenter: Luke Jones
Producer: Beth Sagar-Fenton
