Had a glorious 2days R&D for new children’s opera with English Touring Opera. Fairies, forests, foxes - and a marimba! @JAinscough85 libretto is fabulous, Michael Betteridge music is beautiful, and Rachel Baynton made magic out of cardboard. The Vanishing Forest - touring in 2025!

For the 1st time in a loooong time I’m in Salisbury all week working on a show. Which means I get to enjoy this view! (Disclaimer, I’m working from the Playhouse not a field). Earth Mother R&D day 1 - hurray!
