“When it’s non-white work or non-white narratives there is less press interest and that lack of support doesn’t encourage risk-taking. Not that it will stop me.”

This week Rebecca Atkinson-Lord talks to Indhu Rubasingham, artistic director of the Tricycle Theatre in London.

The Tricycle is closed for a multi-million pound refurbishment which, Indhu says, has given her time to step back and think more long-term.

She talks about religion, community, allocated seating and also discusses the clash between pragmatism and risk-taking, and between the Daily Mail and Corbynites.
