Our special guest host is the amazing Alan Coyne (previously on Episode 29) who just finished doing Antigone at the Town Hall Theatre. Our guest is Oliver Saria, the playwright and managing director of Bindlestiff Studio – his play, Inay Dalisay’s World Famous Lechon, closed two weeks ago and Oliver shares combining comedy with using theatre as a public service announcement, promoting healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, even if it goes contrary to tradition. Ollie also share his experience in theatre, his army experience, what Bindlestiff means to him and where he sees himself in the future.
You can contact Oliver directly via Facebook or Instagram: @olitrato
