In our second episode of the series, fight director Kate Waters (Kombat Kate) reveals how an instinct for physical storytelling led her to choreograph the moments that make us gasp at The Bridge. She reflects on why the story must always lead the movement, the quiet, invisible work that builds confidence in the room, and the simple truth that the most important part of any day is the first minute – when trust is won.She takes us inside Julius Caesar’s street-level brutality and the electric brawl in Guys & Dolls – right down to the sound that sells a slap – and talks about crafting danger that feels real while keeping actors and audiences completely safe. And when it comes to imagining her fantasy production, Kate turns to the Lionesses and women’s sport – exploring strength, solidarity and ambition through a story that feels as dynamic and immediate as The Bridge itself.Hosted by Pauline Fallowell.

S1 E1: David Moorst, Actor
In our first episode of the series, actor David Moorst – Puck in The Bridge’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – shares how an unlikely school musical led to his first spark with theatre, and how that thrill of connection still drives him today.He reflects on making Shakespeare feel new and accessible, the joy (and terror) of performing “with” an audience, and the quiet beauty of that moment when a room of strangers becomes a company.And when it comes to imagining his fantasy production, David’s vision is as warm and witty as he is – rooted in everyday lives, sharp comic timing, and a love for the kind of stories that feel both familiar and extraordinary.It’s a world built on truth, laughter and community – a fitting reflection of The Bridge itself.Hosted by Pauline Fallowell.Follow the Bridge Theatre Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, watch via the Bridge Theatre YouTube channel and discover more at bridgetheatre.co.uk.New episodes every Friday.Bridge Theatre Podcast is produced for the Bridge Theatre by Jonny Bunyan at Pardon Our French Productions.
