Jackie Hagan

This episode is in two parts:David Turner talks to poet and playwright Jackie Hagan talk about Jackie’s new play, ‘This Is Not A Safe Space’, which she’s just started touring. The play, presented by Unlimited and Big Feast, is based on interviews with over 80 people and in it, Jackie examines the impact of benefit cuts on disabled people and others on the margins of society. Perhaps predictably, considering the theme of this work, we discuss class - a lot. More specifically, when the idea of class entered Jackie’s consciousness and the effect it had on her gall bladder and mental health. Dates for 'This Is Not A Safe Space':23 and 24 March 2018 at the Attenborough Centre in Leicester as part of De-Stress Fest 25 March 2018 the Alhambra Theatre in Morecambe29 March 2018 at the Creation Space in Basingstoke30 March 2018 at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield17-21 April 2018 Camden People’s Theatre in LondonPart two [00:58:33]:David Turner is in front of a live audience at the Verve Poetry Festival in Birmingham talking to Nuar Alsadir about writing for an imagined reader and treating our notebook and pen as tools of the trade.LPP:https://lunarpoetrypodcasts.com/ https://twitter.com/Silent_Tongue https://www.facebook.com/LunarPoetryPodcasts/?ref=bookmarksJackie:https://twitter.com/JackieHagan https://www.jackiehagan.org/Nuar:https://twitter.com/FrthPrsnSnglr https://liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/products/86418A full transcript of this conversation can be downloaded here: https://lunarpoetrypodcasts.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/ep111-jackie-hagan-nuar-alsadir.pdf
