I love that line: "When it comes to the acts of violence in my plays my imagination isn't that fucking sick, I mean, I just read the newspapers". It was worth "watching" until the very end, thanks for uploading :)

3 months later she was dead which is heartbreaking to know.

[@sidDkid87]

agreed - she sounded so full of life - so much more share ... sad

[@paulh6959]

this women is such an inspiration, she really is amazing and such an influenece on my life and career.

[@mawsjumbler]

She was so spirited and articulate. Such a shame to lose her so prematurely.

[@DinkoCentar]

I'm imaginatively I love with this woman

[@sarahumlaut]

I'll never tire of this recording. Endless thank yous.

I love her comments on critics, so true. Being an artist or writer of some kind should be pre-requisite, otherwise you get the thwarted-artist critic showing off their "I could've been just as good if I tried" poetic skills used in gleefully destroying everything they can. They should be mocked out of the public square, but now I feel snarky critics appear to be the center of the culture.

[@fadizt9709]

It's so sad that we lost you.

I am sad about that again...

[@bencheshire]

What an incredible document for fans of Sarah's work. Is there any possibility of restoring the audio at all? Or perhaps is there a transcript from someone who was there? Dan is quite hard to hear at times. I was most curious to hear the names of the writers who Sarah thought was brilliant. I think I've figured out two of them, was it David Grieg and David Harrower, Kris Haddow? Its around 16:40. Dan names them there, and later Sarah says they are her favourite three writers.

[@RoyalHollowayDrama]

Hi Ben; you're almost spot on - Chris Hannan was the third. I've managed to unearth a transcript of the conversation for you: www.royalholloway.ac.uk/dramaandtheatre/documents/pdf/skane1998.pdf I hope that helps, and I'm planning to clean up the audio very soon - will keep you posted.

[@bencheshire]

RoyalHollowayDrama oh I just found this reply, thanks so much for the transcript. What a genius she was.

[@gio_car]

@@RoyalHollowayDrama Thank you so much!!

[@2010Wilde]

It's so sad to know that even though she spoke of her attacks from the media with some good humour and maturity, she must have been dying on the inside. 😭😭😭

Hating Tarantino proves she was ahead of her time.

[@Godloveszaza]

Proves she was just full of herself just like you and the rest.
