No, nothing at all apart from people going into the woods…oh yeah, and out of them I guess!

Favourite song is Agony

What’s been the best/ worst show you’ve been in or the best/worst part you’ve played?

Best show was Return to the Forbidden Planet where I got to do Reverse Polarity with the whole audience. Such control!

Trees in Woods

If you were trying to sell the show what would you say?

A real different slant on childhood favourite fairy tales. Fab music and exciting characters.
