We've enjoyed fantastic audiences for our debut production, including two very special guests. Playwright Peter Arnott participated in an insightful discussion on our opening night in a Q&A session led by Gregor McElvogue.

And later in the week we were delighted to welcome Paule Yimga Tchamdjou who voices Elima, pictured here with co-cast members Adrian Moore and Paul Arendt.

Thanks to everyone who has come along this week; looking forward to the final performance this evening!
