Unpacking the Divine Playhouse controversy + surviving drug addiction
About this episode
The episode discusses the controversy surrounding the Divine Playhouse and features a conversation about surviving drug addiction.
A new inclusive arts venue in a deconsecrated church was ordered to cease operation by the landlord under "offensive trade", following protests from religious groups. So, is it a celebration of inclusivity or has it crossed the line? We speak to a performer impacted by the closures, and a protester. Plus, sober advocate Clay Scott sits down with Dave to talk about how his drug use led to a full-blown addiction, prison and multiple suicide attempts, before he found sobriety. If you or anyone you know needs support help is available, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
