In conversation: Desiree Burch and Selina Thompson

British theatremaker Selina Thompson and American comic and theatremaker Desiree Burch both address racism and their experiences as women of colour in their work. We brought them together to talk about salt., Thompson's account of her journey retracing the Transatlantic slave trade, and Unf*ckable, Burch's standup show about, among other things, her past as a professional dominatrix, and the thorny issue of race at the Fringe.
