We are bringing Kitty's story to life on stage. It will be performed at Beaumont House in Beaumont-cum-Moze, on the Walton Backwaters, where she was born, and at the Headgate Theatre in Colchester. We will be working with professional and community actors. If you are interesting in becoming involved you can contact us here.
With a small team we are adapting the novel for stage. Pop over to the production page to meet the team and read more about it. Or if you are interested in the struggles and triumphs of the process, head over to my blog.
May all your endeavors go well.

The Production
THE DEVELOPMENT
The team gathered to develop the adaptation. If you are interested in the process have a look at my blog.
THE WORKSHOP
We held an R&D workshop to further develop the physical theatre elements of the production. Professional and local actors worked together to put flesh on the bones. Working with these wonderful creatives was truly inspiring.
We will be holding more workshops and auditions soon, you can register your interest here.
We would like to Lifehouse, Thorpe le soken, for providing workshop space in the heart of the village that Kitty lived.
THE INSPIRATION
We took a trip to the backwaters where Kitty lived 300 years before us. There we gathered inspiration.
Coming Soon
THE WORKSHOP
Below you will find an excerpt from my debut novel. The old oak stands on the water's edge, a five minute walk from my home. It was the inspiration for Kitty's favourite swimming spot.
