Theatre Talk: SALT

‘A visceral tale of faith, jealousy and demonic passion’. Set in the 1770s in a Norfolk fishing village, 3 characters make a 250-year-old tale come to exciting and vivid life using imaginative staging, new music mixed with traditional songs and dance. Gail Wylie discusses how all these separate ideas successfully come together.

Chair of the BOOKMARK Book Festival, Gail Wylie began her career in education as an English teacher before joining the adult education department (now called the Centre of Lifelong Learning) at the University of Edinburgh where she became the Course Organiser for Literature and Creative Writing. Over her fourteen years there, she developed the Certificate in Theatre Studies.

Gail has given pre-theatre talks for many visiting productions to Edinburgh’s Festival and King’s Theatres and helped launch the Perth Theatre Talks in early 2023 along with Joyce Caplan.
