Very excited about the Model Box for Robin’s Winter Adventure which can be seen here (co-written with Tina Williams) this will be touring this Winter (naturally) and has been a pleasure to write with Tina exploring how a young boy’s love for poetry and the challenges he encounters on a magical move from the snowy countryside to London. Given that I am now in my second year of living outside of London for the first time in my life! This piece has been very close to my heart.
