| Mark Smalley (director) I directed a play at the New Writing Festival last year, and enjoyed it so much I’m back for more. I work as a Radio 4 producer along Whiteladies Road on literary programmes such as Poetry Please, as well as history documentaries. I’m beginning to cut my teeth directing radio dramas, which, in terms of radio, really seems to be where the action’s at. I find it invaluable to get a sense of directing actors in the round here at the Tobacco Factory, contrasting with radio’s focus on the voice. mark.smalley@bbc.co.uk |
