In GBA 238 we get even better acquainted with Sarah. She returns to the show to talk about being a pianist, performer, inventor and mum. We cover the process of composing an album made with a recreated and adapted piano and her new theatre about the experience of being a mother. It's a conversation of two parts, recorded in two different locations and two different times. Part of the original is lost and so it's partly a conversation about a lost conversation.
