This September and October, I was kindly invited by the British Equity London Office to lead some new play development activities. Taking advantage of this opportunity to introduce British artists to francophone Canadian and international works, we workshopped three translations.
Special thank you to actors Eleanor Bennett, Caroline Partridge, Viny Lad and producer Lola May.
