In the final episode of this series of Theatrically Authentic, Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott explore one of the most emotionally complex parts of working in theatre as a neurodivergent person: closing night.
Together, they unpack why ending a show can feel less like simple nostalgia and more like genuine grief — especially for neurodivergent theatre makers whose routines, relationships, identities, and nervous systems often become deeply intertwined with a production.
Part love letter to theatre and part conversation about grief, identity, and transition, this episode closes the series with a reminder that once theatre becomes part of you, it never really leaves.
