FREEDOM FEST 2019 SPECIAL - Mikey Martins
Freedom Festival is in its 12th year, and Mikey Martins has been at the helm since 2016. It is a fixture of Hull's (and the international) cultural calendar and thrills and surprises 130,000 citizens and visitors each summer with world-class art and performance.
But the world is changing and the festival has to change too, whilst retaining the soul of what began in 2007 – commemorating Wilberforce, and celebrating Hull’s independent spirit and historic contribution to the cause of freedom. Like some of the shows, it’s a careful balancing act, and Mikey tells us how him and his team try to achieve it.

Writing Hull
Hester Ullyart likes it darker. She has written - and performs - Paragon Dreams at Hull Truck's Studio theatre until May the 4th. It explores the low-lit, unnoticed corners of the city, and drags up the buried truth from the murk and mud of the Humber. We talk about taking the leap, ubiquitous Hullensians and David Lynch.
Seeing Hull, and its people, on stage or screen was once a rare thing. That began to change about 40 years ago and our stories are now regularly seen.

Writing Hull
Maureen Lennon is the writer of Middle Child Theatre's latest, and largest-scale show yet. Quite a task, but she's up to it. Maureen co-founded Bellow Theatre after graduating from university, and draws on folk and legend to tell the tales of the silenced in unexpected stages. Her writing is as intimate and moving as it is funny and alive.
