Adam Robert Lewis sits down (virtually) with director, Michael
Strassen. In this episode, Michael discusses his early career as
an actor and the path which led him to directing as well as the
many challenges facing our industry.


Michael is one of the most innovative directors working in London
today and has directed many productions across the UK. He’s has
had a long and fortuitous relationship with The Union Theatre
where he has directed 'The Fix', ‘Duncton Wood’, ‘Pacific
Overtures’, ‘Assassins’ and ‘Company’.  


Michael has taken on the challenges brought on by COVID-19 and
how the pandemic has affected the Arts Industry. He has embraced
Digital Theatre and is currently directing the 50th Anniversary
Concert of 'Godspell’, to be broadcast online, which has
harnessed a fantastic cast. 


‘Godspell’ will be made available to stream worldwide for three
days on 27, 28 and 29 of August 2020. The concert will raise

Others and National AIDS trust. For more information visit
