PROPHETS is about Kerris, a researcher from Scotland who travels to a remote British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific Ocean. Upon arrival, she finds the colonial outpost in the thrall of a growing religious cult. It's an intimate pychological drama about faith and the limits of justice.

A beautiful day at @pitlochryft.bsky.social for OUT IN THE HILLS. Brings me so much joy to see a Queer theatre festival happening in Scotland. Long may it continue.

trying not to be too vaguepost-y but the past few weeks (months?) have been some of the most difficult I've ever had. But I can feel the days getting longer now, a little brighter, I hope to turn the corner. Lots of love.

A huge honour to help carry the Taiko Dai at the autumn festivals in Sangawa and Mishima. Unusual for foreigners to carry these, had to be vouched for in order to wear a hoppi and shoulder it. Extremely hard work but so much fun. A properly unique experience to carry these gods to their shrines.
