Actor and dramaturg Vaishnavi Suryaprakash has built a life around telling stories, and shaping the stories of others. You might know her from ‘Counting and Cracking’ or ‘Pieces of Her’. Decisive, driven and surefooted, she speaks on the crossroads she’s come to in her life, the relationship between her work and culture, and what it means to take a break from achieving.  This episode was produced by Tanya Ali and edited by Sam Dover See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
