It's been non-stop this autumn with six of our productions on the road (yes, six!). Perhaps you've seen us in London (North and South, Finchley and Greenwich) Cambridge, Poole, Lincoln, Nottingham, Dorchester and Halesworth? We can't wait to kick off 2017, we're particularly excited about the twelve new venues we're visiting in the spring.
In other news, we're moving! Our Georgian townhouse in the City is being redeveloped so we're moving to The Pill Box in Bethnal Green. We're planning an 'office warming' in their fantastic bar/restaurant in January for our Friends and Patrons so look out for an invitation, if you're a friend.
There's more information about our Spring 2017 touring plans and other news below. We hope to see you at a performance soon.

Our first creative learning programme for children has begun!
Our creative learning programme, built around our family opera Ulla's Odyssey, kicked off at Cambridge Junction this month. For the next year, we'll be delivering workshops for children aged 7-11 (Key Stage Two) exploring Greek Myths, environmental issues and an introduction to the themes of our children's opera, Ulla's Odyssey.
