Standard issue for all women.

Hello, Hannah here and welcome to Friday's podcast.

Lots of good stuff coming up next week as ever, including Jen chatting to art historian

and broadcaster Kate Bryan about her new book, How to Art.

Mick's going to be chatting to comedian Harriet Dyer, Nuff said.

Plus there's outside the box, the Bush Telegraph and Rated or Dated in which we are going to be watching Psycho.

But on to today's podcast, in which I am chatting to Argentinian actor and playwright Maya Novi, whose play, invasive speeches, is on at the King's Head Theatre in Islington until October

the 3rd. There will be a link to ticket in the show notes. The play is based on an event

in Myers Own Life when she was involuntarily held in a mental health facility after reporting

to her doctor that she wasn't sleeping and she had an inner monologue. No, really. Invasive species is great,

big recommend for me and Maya and I had a really interesting conversation which you were about to hear.

If you're a member of the Standard Issue membership gang, you will as ever be hearing more,

including us chatting about Eva Perron and Evita and the difference, I suppose.

If you want to find out more about joining the membership club,

there will also be a link for that in the show notes.

Until next week.

Hello, Hannah here.

I'm delighted to say I'm joined by Maya Novi, playwrights and star of an excellent play I saw in Bases, which I saw on Wednesday at the King's Head Theatre in Islington.

Thank you for joining us.

Hi.

Thank you for having me.

I'm glad I got to speak to you because we had a late start the other night and I had to leave immediately and I didn't get to applaud.
