After three weeks of rehearsals...

So after three weeks of rehearsals, we are leaving Jerwood Space in London behind and heading back to Bristol. We thought we would take this moment to let you get to know a few members of the company a little better. Hopefully there will be more stuff like this to come over the next few weeks.
