“8” The Play

Uncategorized

In the summer of 2013, our host Michelle and her husband Stephen produced the first non-professional production of ‘8 The Play’ for the Midsumma Festival. That experience played a big part in setting Michelle on the path to radio.

On this show, Michelle is joined by Stephen (not only the co-producer, but the Director) and two of the straight members of the cast – Damien Jones (who played lawyer Theodore Olson) and Alayne Wright (who played Kris Perry). Hear how it has impacted on them and those that took part and why this has been a catalyst for so many people to bring about equality and change!

While you’re in the mood for podcasts, check out the podcasts of the fantastic forums on human equality that followed each night of the play at:
