A Tale Of Two Theatres

4 Extra Debut. Co-founder of London鈥檚 Arcola Theatre, Mehmet Ergen goes to Istanbul to check what鈥檚 at stake for Turkish theatre. From 2014.

Mehmet Ergen is best known to UK theatre audiences as the co-founder of London's Arcola Theatre.

But his pioneering work in Hackney is only half the story.

We follow him to his Turkish homeland, post Gezi Park and post Arab Spring, caught between the Syrian conflict and EU aspirations; an emerging economy where freedom of speech is still in jeopardy.

Producer: Kirsty McQuire

A Whistledown production for 麻豆社 Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2014.
