I’m so lucky to work with incredible people & orgs in Southampton, championing health & arts projects.
Thank you @KathWT for your kind words, I’m so excited for the next stages of this project & developing the R&D into a full scale production with our talented theatre company!
Was a real privilege to be involved in this project - seeing @mcsmith76 at work and creating this masterpiece with the @theatre_life2 company has been really inspirational 👏👏
