What do courtrooms and theatres have in common? According to Advocate Simon Thomas – quite a lot.A partner at Baker & Partners, Simon has spent more than 30 years working on some of Jersey's highest profile legal cases, including the L'Ecume II collision trial last year.Away from the courtroom, however, he swaps legal submissions for stage directions as director of Come From Away, the internationally acclaimed musical based on the extraordinary true story of thousands of airline passengers stranded in the tiny Canadian town of Gander after the 9/11 attacks.He dropped into the Bailiwick Podcasts studio to speak to Bailiwick Express Editor Fiona Potigny about doing justice to real-life stories, whether musicals deserve more credit than they’re often given, and whether there’s any truth in the old cliché that "all barristers are failed actors"…Come From Away runs at the Opera House (which is gloriously air-conditioned) until 11 July – don't miss out,get your tickets here.  ★ Support this podcast ★
