Lindsey Chapman presents another edition of the series that looks at the range and diversity of theatre around Britain. This week we are in Liverpool hearing how theatre in the city is dealing with contemporary issues around race and gender identity. We are alongside the cast of the Everyman Theatre's latest production of Othello, in which the lead character is played as a woman, we hear from the founder of BAME theatre group Boisterous and from the city's longest running grass roots, queer theatre company, Grin.
