I’m totally thrilled to be performing in this year’s Christmas show, MDH: Puppets Do A Movie. It’s a dream team of talented, funny people and the rehearsal room feels like the ideal mix of silliness and rigour, my favourite ingredients! It’s a remake of the 2014 show and I’m filling the mighty boots of Corina Bona but we’ve had the enjoyable challenge of taking the show apart and putting it back together again to allow for further development of plot, characters (especially a well-known pig puppet!) and of course finding new funnies!! I had a joyous time working with The Wardrobe Theatre in the 2018 production of Rocky Shock Horror at Tobacco Factory Theatres and Theatre Royal Plymouth, so it’s really exciting to be doing this Christmas run in The Wardrobe’s home theatre with its famously loyal and raucous audiences – bring it on!
