Swags & Tails Takes Shape...
We're mid-way through our first ever development week, for our exciting new play Swags & Tails. Our Artistic Director and Writer Catrina McHugh and Swags & Tails director Charlotte Bennett are working with actors and designer Anna Gooch to develop the script, ready for rehearsals after Christmas.
The week is going really well, with lots of hard work, moving moments and fun. The actors are having a great time - "I never knew scene changes could be so much fun"! Charlotte Bennett, the director of Swags & Tails, says she's "having a brilliant time workshopping Swags & Tails - such an important play to be written and seen."
Swags & Tails will tour in February and March 2012. Watch this space for more news.
