MGCfutures has launched futures Remixed, a brand new podcast where artists at the forefront of contemporary theatre discuss the future of the industry.

The inaugural series Universal Stories examines theatre's ability to resonate with an audience by connecting personal experiences with the world that we live in. In each episode, MGCfutures Bursary recipients sit down at Wyndham’s Theatre in London’s West End to investigate how theatre can affect cultural, social, and political change, one conversation at a time.

The first conversation, featuring Michael Grandage and award-winning director and previous bursary recipient Rebecca Frecknall, is available to listen to now, with further episodes being released bi-weekly.
