Daniel says of STOLEN- 'I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with The Devil's Violin on another project. Every piece has built on the one before. After many years of collaboration with Oliver and Sarah, we are still finding new ways to tell a story together. I reckon STOLEN will be the best show yet!'
