STAGE TUBE: 'While You Wait' Podcast - Caroline Horton

"When I started to think about waiting, I thought a lot about partings in train stations, airports and school car parks and then gradually – with Dr Jennifer Wild's help - my ideas coalesced around 'waiting to go home'. When I was little (well, in fact until I was about 18) I got really homesick and felt like a lot of time was spent waiting to go home – even when I knew that I'd only be away for the length of a school day. So I decided to investigate how homesickness was perceived through the ages and I also spoke to my family about how we'd coped with my own homesickness. So the podcast is a strange mixture of personal story and idiosyncratic historical research…plus I invited my Dad along to the recording studio to help."

Caroline Horton is a Birmingham-based theatre-maker. So far, her shows have started with an idiosyncratic, personal story from which something emerges that is universally moving and funny. You're Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy was nominated for a 2013 Olivier Award and won Best Solo Performer at The Stage Awards 2010 and continues to tour nationally and internationally. Mess, her second piece, won Best Ensemble at The Stage Awards 2012, an Argus Angel Award 2013 and has been nominated for Best New Play in the Off West EndAwards and is touring the UK during 2013. Caroline is developing her next show called Islands with support from the National Theatre Studio. She regularly collaborates with other companies making new work. Caroline is an associate artist at The Bush Theatre and an artist-in-residence at the Oxford Playhouse.
