I believe that theatre should be energised, exciting, an
adventure. I believe that when the
lights go down we should create a playground.
I believe that audiences want to travel with me, to escape their normal
lives’ and join my missions. I believe
that learning through art should be entertaining. I believe that we can inspire
our audiences to make the world a better, kinder, stronger place. When I tell my Children a story at bedtime I
always put them in it, to be in the adventure is far, far more fun.
Over the last twenty years I have put stories everywhere, in
houses, in barns, in fields, shops, schools and a few theatres. I have inspired writers, educators and
directors; I’ve put issues under the spotlight and educated many. I have teased audiences and turned my back on
the system that creates mundane fodder.
If you dare to ask an audience, to speak to them honestly
you will be amazed where they want to go and what they want to see and feel. My story begins when the audience engages and
it finishes many years from now.
