I was recently involved in a week-long project for Drake Music at Springwood Heath primary school in Liverpool. Springwood Heath is a school that caters for both mainstream pupils and those with a variety of needs, and for this project a team of four Drake Music associates were working alongside 19 pupils to develop and perform a production of Hansel & Gretel.

Springwood Heath Artists Residency – Hansel & Gretel
I’ve been writing stageplays for over 10 years and have recently ventured into the “devised play”, so I was intrigued and excited to be working on this project.

So it was great to have a commission that helps to validate my role as a writer and a director.
