Dido's Bar: The Creative Process
Welcome to a mini-series of podcast episodes dedicated to the creation of our autumn 2022 show Dido's Bar
Dido's Bar is an immersive site-specific gig theatre production set in a cabaret bar on the borders of Europe that reimagines Virgil's Aeneid, exploring this timeless tale of migration through the lens of Europe today.
Delve into the inspirations behind the production itself, its creation process, the music, its community involvement and more, as we interview the production’s creative team, collaborators and experts who can speak to its themes.
The second in our mini-series of episodes about our Dido's Bar project delves into the creative process of the three artists at the heart of this production.
Hear about how director Josephine Burton, playwright Hattie Naylor and composer Marouf Majidi crossed paths and came to collaborate on this project, and how our recent music and creative writing workshops with communities in London and Oxford have inspired and fed into the production.
