Founder & Director
Directing this play makes anyone feel like Peter Quince and this production was no exception as I endlessly gave out parts, scripts and instruction to my team - the big difference being that my particular team are incredible at what they do. I couldn't be luckier. At the heart of the play is a sensory world turned upside down - seeing ears, hearing eyes, tasting hands and speaking hearts - eyes that love and minds that see. Our company of seven performers take all the roles endlessly transforming themselves from spirits who fly faster than thought to donkeys that barely move to overs who only see as far as their own love lives. Only Puck remains a constant - shifting in his own body but never playing out other parts.
