Behind The Scenes: Director, Damian Sandys.

Hello, y'all! And Happy July!

Joining Ben in Benjy’s Cafe this week, is the director, the brilliant, Damian Sandys.

Damian, Artistic Producer at UK Productions, one of the UK’s leading production companies & Creative Director of the annual What’s On Stage Awards, is one of the busiest & kindest people in theatre.

Damian shares his joy of directing & his life in theatre, including the buzz of directing Neighbours: The Celebration Tour & his role as Associate Director of the hit Broadway play, Khaled Hosseini’s, The Kite Runner.

Plus, Damian tells Ben how reaching out can lead to unexpected opportunities & the excitement of taking that leap of faith.

And making time for self care & why Damian's go-to is the gym & a late night workout.

If you love people with passion, you’ll love Damian. He’s a gem.

Pop the kettle on & enjoy listening.
