New year, and lots of projects in development. Ive just finnished working on a work in progress  sharing of Bookshop. A  lovely piece inspired by an Antiquarian bookshop in london supported by Ferment at Bristol Old Vic. The piece will be developed for disused shops around the country, but for  our  sharing we created our own shop out of cardboard in Bristol Old Vic's basement!.

I am about to start my second production with Bath Theatre Royals  Adult Creative Learning team. We are developing a new piece of work called Life Savings inspired by the short story written by Allen Allberg, about memories and growing old. The piece will be written by Adam Peck and be performed in The Ustinov theatre Bath in June 2011. More info about this soon.

I am also developing a new outdoor site responsive promenade theatre piece with Sound Artist Duncan Speakman

Buried secrets and hidden passions erupt during one life-changing night. Written by the original angry young man of British theatre this long lost play is a call to arms for all young men out of step with their world. Huw is a butcher’s assistant and budding poet, too full of passion and wild visions for pious society. When the village turn on him one dark night, is the devil in the hunter or the hunted? John Osborne is best known for his trail-blazing work Look Back in Anger. This earlier play was produced twice in the 1950s and buried in the archives of the British Library until it was rediscovered in 2009. National Theatre Wales presents the world premiere of the uncut version of this lost classic of British theatre.
