An excerpt from my Arts Hub piece From page to stage: bringing cartoons to life.
Way back before COVID was even a glint in a pangolin’s eye, I ran into Anni Davey at a writers’ festival.

‘I’ve been thinking about doing a Fruities show with a girls-only cast,’ she said. ‘And I’m wondering – would you like to collaborate? Make a circus show that would use your cartoons somehow?’
I don’t think that I’ve ever been asked a more delightful question.
