ARCHIVE SATURDAYS 🖇️

Hurried Steps at the Cockpit Theatre London (2012.)

This production asked the audience to listen without looking away.

Written by Dacia Maraini, the play is uncompromising in its aim to raise awareness of violence against women and girls.

Sometimes the simplest advice is the most effective.
Remember: if you are a writer, WRITE.

Snaps from Director Nicolette Kay’s writing retreat developing a new play about Erika Mann. No distractions, scarce Wi-Fi, just space to write.

A new title is brewing.

“The only principle I adhere to is my stubborn belief in moral ideals: truth, honour, decency, freedom, tolerance.” Erika Mann.

Stateless in her twenties for speaking out against Nazism. She refused neutrality.

"Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."
The Germans get it.
