INTERVIEW: CHRIS THORPE

Writer-performer Chris Thorpe tells Matt Trueman about his first play for multiple voices, the complex and involving There Has Possibly Been An Incident (Edinburgh, and tour). Juxtaposing four stories about different forms of heroic acts, the play asks what it means to stand up and change the world, whether for the better or for the worse. Expletives not deleted. Recorded at Soho Theatre, 2 October 2013.

What do I think of the idea of artistic courage? I think it’s fucking stupid.
