Marcus Reeves on GFEST and Screwged!

15 Nov 2010 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

The mind behind Sister Wendy: The Musical returns to the stage.

Marcus Reeves talks about Screwged!, his take on A Christmas Carol, and his wonderful cabaret act The Singing Christmas Tree.

The Scrooge story is traditionally very dark and I think that’s what we’ll deliver, with some very rude bits added too.

09 Aug 2010 / 1 Comment / in Interviews/by Scott De Buitleir

Irish artists Adrian + Shane talk pop art.

An interview with the cast of Dirty White Boy

28 Apr 2010 / 1 Comment / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

Dirty White Boy: from blog, to book, to stage.

Christopher Bryant talks with the assistant director and the cast of the play Dirty White Boy in the final days of rehearsals. We talk about settings songs to the action, the underwear scenes, and most important of all the great emotion that is at the heart of the work.

“It’s not a gay play,” Clayton insists. “It’s a social play,” Kat confirms “It’s a commentary on a certain time and a certain place.” Now we’ve really hit on something, and everyone becomes more animated as a result.

An interview with author Rupert Smith

11 Feb 2010 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

Rupert Smith talks physique culture and his novel Man’s World.

The 1950s was the crucible in which contemporary gay life was formed, says Rupert Smith.

One of the stories is set in the 1950s when the man has just come out of national service and one of them is set today when the man is living the life on the London commercial gay scene.

An interview with PETA’s rebel campaigner

15 Jan 2010 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

Dan Matthew’s talks animal rights and his remarkable memoir Committed.

He has been the force behind many of PETA’s controversial campaigns, and has now written a suprisingly funny memoir about his life as an activist.

In a world where a celebrity’s arrest or stint in rehab gets more coverage than the war in Iraq, you have to compete for people’s attention.

One Year On: Clayton Littlewood

21 Dec 2009 / 7 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

Catching up with Clayton Littlewood one year on.

A year after first interviewing Clayton Littlewood, Polari Magazine talks to the writer about the stage play of Dirty White Boy and the possibilities for a sequel.

When all those celebrities got in contact I thought, ‘That’s it. I’ve made it.’ But when famous people get in contact it’s just like anyone else taking the time out to say they liked your work.

The Sound of Wonder

07 Dec 2009 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

An interview with Tori Amos about her album Midwinter Graces.

Polari Magazine talks to Tori Amos the morning after her intimate performance at the Jazz Café in North London about the seasonal albumMidwinter Graces and the upcoming musical The Light Princess.

When you go to the bigger places and come back it’s quite a challenge because you have to not feel under a microscope, and you have to feel ok about being exposed.

An interview with Greta Schiller

15 Aug 2009 / 0 Comments / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

25/40: An interview with Greta Schiller, the director of Before Stonewall

Greta Schiller talks about the 25th anniversary of her influential documentary film Before Stonewall and the nasty world of today’s Creationists.

The important thing is that when a documentary such as Before Stonewall is screened in the context of today people get a longer view of history.

Driving Ambition

15 Aug 2009 / 8 Comments / in Interviews/by David Watters

An Interview with Chris Mason

David Watters talks to Chris Mason about Driving Ambition, a 107-day, 48 State, 16,000-mile road-trip with a mission to examine LGBT inequality and discrimination throughout the United States.

In West Virginia we spoke to an openly gay doctor. He and his partner, and their adopted son, live in a rural town in the middle of West Virginia. This is the last place I‘d expected to find someone willing to talk about being gay.
