‘Pops’


Pops’ was written from a personal place and grew into something much more universal. This piece wrote itself, despite my resistance, it wanted to be made. I’m mad grateful for it. We made and scratched ‘Pops’ at Newcastle’s Live Theatre (with the brilliant Holly Aston , Sean Campion and Imogen Knight), before opening at Zoo Roxy, Edinburgh Fringe 2019. We also enjoyed a short run at HighTide’s Adleburgh Festival.

Team: Performed by the magnificent Sophie Melville and the wonderful Nigel Barrett. Directed by Ali Pidsley. Designed by Kieran Lucas (sound), Bethany Wells (set&costume). Movement by Jennifer Jackson. Produced by Jake Orr Productions, HighTide and Live Theatre. Photo: The Other Richard.

Awards: HighTide Disruption Festival Edinburgh Season 2019. The Stage Edinburgh Award 2019.
