The boundary-breaking blend of storytelling, music and movement was directed by Max Roberts, choreographed by Lee Proud, composed by Beth Brennan, and designed by Alison Ashton. Four fine young actors brought the tender and troubling tale to vivid life, garnering a host of four and five star reviews. |
