The Songbird Cafe is under commission from the Brighton Festival. It is a family friendly musical about the crisis in mental health, loneliness and isolation.
I am directing this show for Brighton People’s Theatre. So far we have done 6 months of R&D on the concept, co-creating ideas for the show by running 26 workshops, involving 96 people.

“Having all your ideas used in such a lovely way is very empowering. My mind woke up. It was as if old chambers had been suddenly re-opened and treasure discovered. The sense of well-being this delivered was so incredible. Each session took me out of my ‘everyday’ into the utterly absorbing, oh-so professional world of BPT.”
We are currently raising funds to complete the development of the show and to take it to full production.
