Episode 06 - Jasmine Lee-Jones

Twenty-one-year-old Londoner, Jasmine Lee Jones, was a student at The Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 2019 when her first full-length play, 'seven methods of killing kylie jenner', was produced by the Royal Court Theatre. The play had a sell-out run, culminating in Jasmine being awarded Most Promising Playwright by both the Evening Standard and the Critics' Circle. That was before the world - and theatre - shut down...

Here Jasmine talks to Emma about the toxic synthesis of capitalism and beauty, how celebrity crushes (or resentments!) can cause creative breakthrough, and what happens in your head when the art you've been deemed the future of is put on pause.
