Skins

What came first? The British teenage experience or Skins? Today Beth is answering that very question with writer, performer and binge-watching connoisseur Eleanor Rattenbury. The two also reminisce on sixth-form life, Glen’s vodka and Eleanor’s very own Skins audition.  About Eleanor  Eleanor is a writer and performer from London. In April 2021 she launched the blog Midnight Culture (midnightculture.co.uk) a place for the binge watchers, revenge bedtime procrastinators and anyone who loves film, TV, games or literature. When Eleanor isn’t writing about the culture we consume in the early hours, she is working on her first novel and cramming in as many references to food as possible! As a performer Eleanor specialises in physical, immersive, and interactive performance and has worked as a collaborative artist with a number of theatre companies in the West Midlands. You can currently find Eleanor on tour with Quick Duck Theatre in Fashion Spies, a family-friendly, choose-your-own adventure show!
