This is the first in a series of podcasts that chart the progress of the What If R&D project to produce a film/theatre production piece. Adrian Burrows lead artist talks about how the idea came about.

What was the spark for the project?

An interview with the writer of "What If" Allan Hughes and his spark idea for the story, plus his thoughts on working with writing mentor Caroline Jester. 

It was Allan's original short that was the inspiration for the "What If" R&D production.

Allan Hughes "What If" short story writer

Chat after the first day's work at the Digital Cultural Heritage Demonstrator Project with Joseph Sivell the projects Senior Technical Developer and Greame Rose actor and director.

Sorry about the poor sound quality on Greame's audio, a bit of dodgy mic action at the end of a long day's work.

"What If" chat 1.7.14

Matt Windle aka "Poet with Punch" reworks Shakespeare's Henry V words to reflect his mindset as a pro boxer and the young warrior King Henry V.

This work was intended to be use for a short film, but due to time restraints on the shoot day we could only capture Matt's reworking of another Henry V speech "Band of Brothers".

The resulting film can be see here https://youtu.be/3OAuQw1rBac

I am the lead artist currently working on an R&D theatre piece called "What If".  I'm using sound cloud to host podcasts interviews of the team and the projects development.
