Josephine Burton takes us inside the rehearsal room of Our Public House, Dash Arts' new touring theatre production and the culmination of our series of work on Albion.

We join the company during their rehearsals at Toynbee Studios while some of the country heads to the polls in local elections. Assistant Director Scott Hurran shares insights into the collective creation of characters and how communities across the country have shaped the play's development.

Set in a pub, Our Public House is a play about Englishness: who we are, what we've lost, and what we might still become.

Our Public House tours England from May 2026. Get your tickets and find out more on the Dash Arts website: https://www.dasharts.org.uk/our-public-house

Our intro music is Fakiiritanssi by Marouf Majidi

You also hear a preview of Rent Controls Now and All The Same by Jonathan Walton, arranged by Yaniv Fridel.

Thanks to the cast and crew for welcoming us in with our microphones.
