In this episode, Kimberley Andrews interviews playwright Tom Woffenden about the journey of his play, Cockfosters, which began as a new play and is due to open for a five week run at Southwark Playhouse this December.

Tom shares his thoughts and advice on co-writing the play, putting it on stage for the first time, and how this led to several sell-out runs.

Cockfosters opens on 4th December 2025

1 Tube Carriage. 38 Stops. 0 Refunds.

In this episode Kimberley interviews playwright, Scott Younger about his new play, Champagne which is being performed as part of this year's Grim Fest.

---------------------------------------------

Murder, a vampire and sparkling, lethal white wine…

Vampire Count Stabbenspine visits his dear childhood friend, Duchess Marguerite, but brings a terrible curse. Can the duchess’ son Edvin save his mother and her disgraced-sledger-manservant Igor from the terror in the night?

Champagne brings horror, comedy and pure entertainment to the stage, packed full of horror-genre quirks, both verbal and physical comedy, larger-than-life characters and camp spectacle with a flourish. Join this comedy ensemble for big laughs and bold characters in a show audiences have called the perfect comic homage to gothic horror.

Following performances at various London scratch nights pre-pandemic, Champagne premiered to a sell out audience as a rehearsed reading at The Red Lion Theatre during their Grim Fest Festival in October 2023.

Written by Scott Younger
