News of a new venue

Shropshire creatives Joe Edwards & Polly Wolf share an exciting vision for our area. Plus a stunning piece of Birmingham spoken word. With Nina Das Gupta.

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live with Nina Das Gupta, including:

• News of a huge new performance space coming to our area, courtesy of a hilarious Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock husband and wife double act who are already well versed in musicals, podcasts and screenplays galore. Get to know Joe Edwards and Polly Wolf.

• Meeting Harborne filmmaker Theo James Ketis, who's got his latest creation on BBC IPlayer and off to the huge SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas.

• How a Warwickshire podcast has led to bricks and mortar, creating Europe's biggest independent romance bookstore in Leamington Spa, courtesy of The Spicy Librarian.

• Discover the Birmingham-born writer who now lives in Malvern, who was watching TV, struggling to find anything funny to watch and thought 'why don't I just write my own?'

• It started at the Tamworth Snowdome and is now present at the Winter Olympics. Hear from the unexpected British stars of the games - Sutton Coldfield's Tim Warwood - who's been up in the snowy mountains of Cortina!

• Showcasing the Birmingham writer who - when she's not creating stunning poetry films that combine her love of the second city with an exploration of the people who call it home - supports and uplifts those people as a mental health practitioner. Get to know Ayan Mahamud.
