In Dialogue...
Establishing your theatre practice in the industry is an increasingly demanding challenge due to restrictions posed by funding, opportunity, access and space. The In Dialogue... series helps create that space, offering current and past participants of Scottish Youth Theatre projects a moment to gather and evaluate the pinnacles, pitfalls and peripheries they’ve experienced when developing their creative practice. Encountering a new theme each episode, artists, designers, writers and performers come together to discuss where obstacles lie for them and, ultimately, how new and exciting work can be collaboratively forged.
In Dialogue...
From Strangers to Collaborators
This week, we are joined by Molly McGrath and Harry Walker to discuss their creative meet-cute and how they established their professional relationship whilst wrestling with a fast-approaching deadline. A fantastic listen about collaboration and seizing creative opportunities.

Harry is a 25-year-old theatre-maker and poet from Southern England, currently based in East Dunbartonshire.
Taking an experimental approach to theatre-making, his practice is heavily influenced by participatory and postdramatic styles of performance. His work explores themes of late-stage capitalism, the crisis in democracy, climate breakdown, colonialism/neocolonialism, surveillance and the impact of technology. Harry’s play ‘if not this then that’ will debut at the Camden People’s Theatre’s SPRINTFEST in March 2025.
Molly McGrath is an actor, writer and recent graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. She is passionate about telling stories that are bold in both style and content. Fiercely theatrical, she enjoys exciting the senses of an audience, creating deeply immersive spaces. Her work is focused on interrogating convention; finding the universal within the specific.
