“Lean Cat, Savage Cat” with Lauren J. Joseph The incredible author Lauren J. Joseph joins me to talk about her new book Lean Cat, Savage Cat – out on 26 February 2026. Lauren talks about the genre-bending ambiguity of the novel, about characters that have followed her from the stage to the page, and about writing across languages. We touch on the intricacies of first-person narration, but also on what it’s like to write a novel versus writing a PhD.   References: Lauren J. Joseph’s Lean Cat, Savage Cat (2026) Lauren J.

For the "Queens of Ravenwood," I'm zooming out for the major backstory/ timeline all over again. I had an origin story for why the 4 worlds collapsed into 1, but I haven't liked it since I put it down like 3+ years ago. I'm going back & rewriting the timeline.

Relish Theatre’s Regeneration Season: A Queer Theatrical Experiment Relish Theatre’s upcoming 2025 season, Regeneration, brings together three productions that explore political and social issues through a queer lens. The season presents Acid’s Reign, Oh My Pain, My Beautiful Pain!, and Puppy, each tackling different themes with a combination of satire, performance, and theatrical experimentation. At the heart of the season is an effort to challenge conventional storytelling practices while engaging with topics such as climate change, the commodification of trauma, and feminist perspectives on sexuality.

Relish Theatre’s Regeneration season brings bold queer stories to London. Hear from creatives staging climate, trauma & identity at Pleasance & King’s Head.
