Reaching new heights

Touching the Void is possibly the show where Xanthe Beesly’s role as Movement Director is more important than ever. She talks to us about working with the cast to evoke the physicality of climbing the rugged, icy terrain of the Peruvian Andes on stage.

Award-winning British playwright Dennis Kelly may be best known to audiences for his adaptations of Matilda and Pinocchio, but Girls & Boys is very different kind of family story. He talks to us about fatherhood, relationships and believing women.
