Living Newspaper Clippings: Katherine Soper and Daniel York Loh in conversation
Living Newspaper Clippings, is a new series of conversations between some of the writers and artists who are creating Living Newspaper at the Royal Court Theatre.
“One of the things that I was thinking about is that, conspiracies just tend to take on the kind of anxieties of the age that they’re conceived in.”
Writers Katherine Soper (Wish List) and Daniel York Loh (The Fu Manchu Complex) wrote for Edition 1 of Living Newspaper, and wrote for The Con-Troll Room and The Newstand respectively.
In this episode Katherine and Dan discuss creating their pieces for Living Newspaper, and the influence of disinformation and conspiracy theories in their work.
Living Newspaper clippings is available to listen on Apple Podcasts and you can also stream this episode on our website here.
This conversation has been transcribed and can be accessed here.
