Calling fans of the Golden Age, Orson Welles and culture vultures intrigued by a topical look at the themes in Citizen Kane from wicked newspaper barons to hero worship. Journalist Alison Jane Reid from The Luminaries Magazine, interviews actor, director and producer, David Shopland, as he takes his solo play Raising Kane to the Edinburgh Fringe 2023. AJ has interviewed several hundred cultural icons during her career in magazines and national newspapers in the UK, and this interview takes a frank, fun and penetrating dive into Orson, and Shopland and explores the joys and risks of hero worship and genius. The interview was filmed and recorded in art deco-inspired cinema at The Roseate Reading, with Welles looming over us as the backdrop. I hope you enjoy this two-part interview.
