Abstract
In this interview, writer, director, dramaturg, and producer Tom Wright and I examine his experiences with creating LGBTQ + theatre and film during the pandemic. We discuss some of the changes to theatre as an art form, as well as how he negotiates with them. We go on to analyze his two recent offerings: Very Special Guest Star (2021), which had its premiere at the Omnibus Theatre, and I Ain’t Dumb (2022), which premiered in Wright’s hometown, at the Belgrade Theatre Coventry, as part of UK City of Culture celebrations. We conclude by looking at Wright’s first short film ‘Stockholm’ (2021). This interview advances scholarship in two significant respects: first, it offers insights into Wright’s growth as an artist—that is, as a writer, director, and now a filmmaker—and secondly, it illustrates the capacity of theatre and film to explore issues that have remained pressing to the LGBTQ + community, including adoption, mixed-race relationships, and hyphenated identities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
