We discuss Jenna’s path into the industry, the feeling that you can’t get into the room and how that pushes you to create your own work, writing her first long form nonfiction novel and why having a space for everyone to feel heard with grace is vital.

This June Miriam met with performer and playwright Jenna Watt. Jenna's most recent work Faslane has just wrapped an English tour, the play about the people and worlds colliding in Faslane (where trident lives) having won awards galore at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 (a fringe first.) Jenna and Miriam maybe get a little distracted by the soundcheck in the Summerhall Courtyard... but who doesn't love a live background bed of cymbal soundcheck? www.jennawatt.co.ukAn arts PR. A culture journalist. No words spoken until one of them hits record. Join Miriam Attwood and Amy Taylor as they talk rubbish to each other, and interview amazing women.
