Episode 185 Ray Spencer | Will the Show Go On?
Ray Spencer is the Executive Director of the Customs House. It was established in 1848 in South Shields.
The building comprises a theatre of 441 seats, a 145 seat studio, a gallery, a restaurant, a bar, a box-office and a community room that holds 100 people.
Covid-19 is an existential threat to Britain’s theatres.
They must survive with little to no income until audiences return.
Ian & Ray discuss;
- Welcoming people back into the workplace
- Return of the pantomimes
- Winning the Great British Panto award
- Anxiety and our brain's reaction to change
- Switching off and feeling positive
- Being able to see family again
Whist on lock-down because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ian Farrar wanted to create something special for the listeners.
Ian live streamed (Facebook, YouTube & Twitter) for 3 hours on the 19th June 2020 and interviewed 6 of his friends back to back!
We have edited those videos and created bonus podcast episodes.
The original videos can be watched again on the respective social media platforms.
