THEATRE Posted: April 29, 2019 6:30 am

A young director who had three weeks to devise a musical with 14 over-50 LGBTQ-identified actors says that her generation needs to hear more about the past, and that they’re good for theatre. “Stories from untold perspectives– with one hand in reality and one in imagination – are what interest me. As a writer, they unlock the immeasurable potential within a subject. As a director, they challenge you to avoid the deadly valleys of stereotype and assumption and implore you to take the tricky hillside treks through discomfort and authenticity.” – The Stage (UK)
