"What colour eyes you have doesn't matter to me. Does it have to matter to you? We all love to play don't we?"

​

A theatrical evocation of the true-life story of Miriam Freedman. 

The 2025 premier production at London's Arcola Theatre was described by Mark Lawson in The Guardian as 'innovative and timely' in its conjuring of Miriam's childhood experience of living  in danger, hiding with some of her family in Slovakia during the Holocaust and charting her journey to London in adulthood where she discovered yoga and meditation which enabled her to face and begin to process the depths of her trauma and grief.

 

Live music along with audio and video footage, personal testimony and physical theatre  piece together an intimate, surprising and moving encounter with Miriam’s older and younger self. Audiences and readers are invited to delve within to contemplate Miriam’s loss and search for healing, peace and forgiveness in a shared theatrical experience.

What if leaving a broken marriage means losing your children yet finding your way?

Inspired by the remarkable life of nineteenth-century Cornelia Connelly, educational pioneer and founder of an order of nuns, WALTZ WITH ME paints a moving picture of the challenges of marriage and motherhood, the calling of vocation, the nature of personal sacrifice for greater cause, infusing live waltz, sacred and folk music through the unfolding drama that dances towards what may be a miracle.
