FOREST FABLES AT MOTTISTONE MANOR (2020)
WRITER & CREATIVE
When the pandemic stopped live events in their tracks, I co-founded NAIADS.
With a team of exceptional creatives (Samuel Beckett Award-winning director Sophie Hunter, Olivier Award-winning set designer Samuel Wyer, Emmy-nominated composer Rolfe Kent, creative director Olivia Prendergast and international producer Clementine Seely) we designed and created a sold-out live show designed to COVID-19 guidelines.
Forest Fables at Mottistone Manor is an immersive promenade piece of theatre, created by NAIADS and written by me.
We partnered with the National Trust to bring live theatre to the Isle of Wight during Christmas 2020. The sold-out show was one of the only live shows to complete a full run in the country, and saw bubbled groups embark on an immersive journey through the sprawling rooms of an ancient manor house.
We partnered with video producer Greengage Ventures to create a film version of the show so that those still sheltering could experience family theatre from the comfort of their homes.
