Welcome to the new season of Forest Forge and what an exciting one it is turning out to be. The first show is a new commission by the writer and director Joyce Branagh: For the Record. This has been inspired by both mine and Joyce's love for Desert Island Discs and will explore the music that is in people's lives in a funny and poignant way.

The winter show is a new adaptation of the classic children's story: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aitken. We are delighted that the Nuffield Theatre in Southampton are collaborating with us on this venture and I am looking forward to those discussions about how we animate wolves!

The final show is the award winning play Peeling by Kaite O'Reilly. It was first produced by Graeae Theatre Company and Lynn Gardner from The Guardian described it as a 'major piece of theatre' It looks at 3 actors on stage in a production of The Trojan Women and the human being is revealed bit by bit- in turn: funny, angry and heartbreaking. 

So whether you are wanting a family night out or just a good meaty piece of drama- there is something for everyone. Hope to see you at a venue soon.
