About this listen

Join Joe Murphy, Sherman’s Artistic Director and previous Old Vic Baylis Director, as he welcomes a new guest fortnightly to talk about their career in theatre, their highs and lows along the way – and to ask them the ultimate question: what's your favourite play?

PlayCrush is created in collaboration with the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, and is is supported by Royal Bank of Canada in association with the TS Eliot Estate.


Neither The Old Vic or Sherman Theatre would be here during this uncertain time without their supporters. If you would like to give a donation to either The Old Vic or The Sherman Theatre we would be extraordinarily grateful.
