2023 Artists

Renee Lyons returns to Verbatim 10 years after her first performance of the work.

She is joined by friend and long-time collaborator Amelia Reid-Meredith and together, they are rehearsing for their TAHI Festival season of Verbatim. 30 years after the work was first performed, this dynamic duo discuss the challenges of returning to a production after a long break, the joy of finding the characters again and the relevance of Verbatim in 2023.

Sameena Zehra takes a break from finessing her solo show Tea With Terrorists ahead of her TAHI Festival Season to share a bit about her creation process. For Sameena, it's not always linear and involves a lot of speaking thoughts into existence then wading through recorded ramblings to find the gold! A consummate story-teller with sharp wit, journey with Sameena to find out why fear is redundant, joy is essential, and terrorists can be a real hoot. A riotous night of laughs is guaranteed!
