Podcast feedSharon Sexton talks to Catherine Carroll about Liza Minnelli
This week Camden Community Radio welcomed back Sharon Sexton who came in to tell us about her one-woman show “Somewhere Under the Rainbow” which she’s performing at the Camden Fringe.
Sharon was with us in the Spring to talk about “A Fit Wife for a Revolutionary” which portrayed events around the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916.
This time round she’s bringing us a glittering evening with the ups and downs, stories and music of Liza Minnelli. That sequin encrusted performance takes place at 7.30 on Friday 19th at the Camden Irish Centre.
Sharon also talked to Catherine Carroll about the emotional last night of the West End hit Billy Elliott and revealed how her theatre company, Biscuits for Breakfast, is hoping to encourage budding playwrights.
