In this episode of #LincsLivesNatters, Shelley natters with Ryan Gilmartin, an award-winning actor, writer, and filmmaker whose work celebrates the people and history of Lincolnshire.
Ryan shares how growing up in Lincolnshire shaped his creative journey, from feeling disconnected from local history to making it the centrepiece of his work. He dives into his new touring show, Henry VIII Used to Hate Us, which brings the county’s rebellious past to life, and discusses his short film St Nowhere, inspired by his grandfather’s RAF experiences on Holbeach Marsh.
We also explore the power of local storytelling, the unique identity of Lincolnshire, and how Ryan is working with young people to inspire the next generation of creatives.
