We’re Manchester’s centre for contemporary art, theatre and film.
Our Theatre Podcast is dedicated to bringing you behind-the-scenes access to the artists and companies that inhabit our building, taking a deep dive into their work, journey, trials, tribulations and, most importantly, advice.
Also archived on this podcast are our audio features pre-2020 from our Visual Arts and Theatre programme and previous VIVA Festivals. This includes interviews, audience reactions, reviews and Q&As.
