Write On with Beverly Martens - 13-03-2024 - Creatives involved in the Dunedin Fringe Festival - Cindy Diver and Dr Chris Brickell

Summary: Creatives involved in the Dunedin Fringe Festival - My first guest is Professional Theatre Maker Cindy Diver, who is directing 'LAVVIES2' in this year's Festival. We chat about the show's specifics plus the challenges of presenting it in a non-theatre space. Then we delve back into some of the highlights of Cindy's 30+ year creative career - such as her award-winning verbatim play 'The Keys are in the Margarine' (about dementia), and her two heart-warming Lockdown response projects: 'Resilience' and' Random Acts of Art' Then, in support of Pride Month I replay my interview with Dr Chris Brickell, who co-edited The Robert Lord Diaries.
