We’re thrilled that two of our shows have been awarded a Scotsman Fringe First this week. Congratulations to both teams who have worked so hard to bring WEATHER GIRL and VL to life. We are incredibly proud to have produced both.

And just like that - the sparkler ended for the last time. Thank you so, so much for everyone who came to see our show at the Royal Court. We loved sharing it with you. It has been beyond our wildest dreams. And @royalcourt has been unwaveringly wonderful.
