Following a year of writing the music and script during the 2020 Lockdown, we embarked on a two week workshop, putting the show on its feet for the first time - with a performance at Marylebone Theatre, London to conclude. The workshop provided a collaborative environment to develop with our creative team and cast of 10 talented professional actors the story, style and music featured in our brand new production.
From table reads, to detailed discussions of character and plot, to blocking and simple choreography, the show was developed and rehearsed in the space of two weeks. Featuring minimal staging, limited lighting and basic props/costume, the workshop was performed to a group of industry professionals, family and friends and received tremendous reviews.
