LTW(More) with Laura Potts. ‘From the very first poem to the podcast collection and the future to come, Laura Potts speaks to Leeds-based poet James Nash on his entrance to the writing world. Sprung from the need for new language with which to understand a newly-publicised sexual consciousness, Nash will discuss his pivotal decision to come out and the role which writing has played in his life ever since’. Plus an interview with the cast of The Shed Crew, a new adaptation of the novel set in East Leeds, produced by Red Ladder supported by the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
