C.C. S2 E5 Jess Barton on Directing for Theatre

This is a gorgeous episode with the brilliant Jess Barton; Director, Creative Producer and Artistic Director of Fight or Flight Productions. While gorgeous, it is also in the quintessential Friday Club style, so do bare with us through the many interruptions, background phone calls, planes, trains and buses. This conversations is so worth it. Jess generously talks us through her career so far from putting on shoestring 14 person musicals fresh from graduating, right up to her recent nomination for the 2024 London Pub Theatre Standing Ovation Award for Fight or Flights production of Maggots. She gives us an insight into how her brilliant brain works, how it might feel to be directed by her, why she does what she does, what keeps her moving forward and the kind of stories she loves to tell. Happy Friday!
