“The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic or intellectual forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference."
A. Lorde.

 

I firmly believe in innovative, accessible theatre that invites joy.
