The Purple Ladies (2018-19)

Magic & Myth Cabaret (2018)

For this show I collaborated with The Purple Ladies, bringing together a 5-piece music band of part-human and part-forest creature, inhabiting the surreal in-between worlds of synth, baroque, props and pop… This was a family friendly show made for the local community in the heart of a residential estate in Peckham, with circus acts, storytelling and cabaret.

The music band was
Jan Lee (musical direction, synths, vocals, flute)
Roddy Skeaping (viola, vocals)
Tim Murray-Browne (drums, vocals)
Keith Thompson (saxophone, vocals)
Abigail Wollston (cello)
