S13 Ep1: Calam Lynch
Episode 1
Friday, 8 May, 2026

He’s the stage and screen actor that’s earned himself a wealth of fans from across both mediums thanks to his varied and detailed work, with projects like Bridgerton 2, Benediction, Black Beauty, Mrs Wilson, Derry Girls, What It Feels Like For A Girl, Ghosts, Lord of the Rings, Archie, Sweetpea and Wife, to name but a few. And now, he’s stepping into his first principal stage role to star in Tom Wright’s new play Please Please Me, which plays at the Kiln Theatre until 29th May. So here, in an exclusive conversation recorded just as the show began its life at the Kiln Theatre, we dive into the magic of bringing a story like Please Please Me to the stage, including exploring the “complicated” life of Brian Epstein - the unsung, gay legend and ‘Fifth Beatle’. We also explore the safety of not having an audience all the way to the thrill of a sold-out one, the power of literature and research in building an understanding of the past and how music helps bring people together. Plus, how he loves jumping between stage and screen to apply his craft to both, becoming a student to leading industry peers and why he wanted to push himself out of his safety zone and honour the legacy of this remarkable music pioneer.Host: William J Connolly Produced by: William J Connolly/Darren Bell kilntheatre.com Learn more about your ad choices.
