We chat about his work, writing plays and books, the differences between them, as well as some of his early life including his relationship with his father, a tragic tale of bullying and much more.
It's a great chat, and Declan is brilliant to sit down and natter with. I enjoyed doing it, so I hope you enjoy listening!
