In this episode we chat with the team from Eye Contact Theatre Company about their upcoming play, Hairworm. The play deals with a lot of heavy themes, centring around the eating disorder, and we find out about the sensitivities, the care and the devotion of the team to bring light to this often taboo subject. We do have a few laughs on the way and even manage to slip in a Rick and Morty reference.
