ShoutOut Festival - The Promised Land

A big shout out to Applecart Arts' ShoutOut Festival which is a creative response to fear and hate. Applecart Arts have put together such an inspiring programme of theatre. It is wonderful to be part of a festival that is so rooted in the concerns raised by the local community. The Promised Land always felt like such a perfect fit with those concerns and so, with the festival in mind, we have worked really hard in producing a more developed version of the show. The last few weeks have been satisfying in reworking some of the script and adding more music. It feels like the show was always meant to be this way! It is pretty much a musical now and I'm channelling Maria in the Sound of Music to get me through the telling of this story.
