I'm sorry to have to tell you that FACE THE CAMERA AND SMILE will not now be performed during the Women and War Festival. Reasons beyond our control. It's a real pity.

Huge apologies to GIGI GIANELLA - who filmed and edited our trailer. We managed to get his first name wrong on the mail chimp info which was sent out last night. Sorry. Ladies and gentleman, lots of these lovely TO THE BONE pics are Gigi's work - highly recommend him.
Thanks Gigi.

I'm back in the sunlit, calm studio at 40 Clarence Mews working on prep before we rehearse at Rich Mix. This is where TO THE BONE has evolved through a residency run by Caroline Salem. It's been over 12 months, exploring these subtle, huge, fascinating topics about aging, living and time and many many wonderful actors and dancers have given their time and talent on this journey. Especially involved have been Katsura Isobe and Matthew Coulton. As we work on this script, which has been slowly and lovingly brewed, it's touching that although they are not performing with us this time, the piece owes a huge amount to them. Thank you both! Do come and see where it's at on 16/17 April
