Guest Blog: 'I Needed To Do Something Drastic': Writer and Composer Tim Firth On Creating THIS IS MY FAMILY
by Guest Author - Jun 11, 2025

Someone once told me writing a musical with an original story would be like climbing Everest. This turned out to be not entirely true. A mountaineer at least knows Everest is there to be climbed.

You have to have a really good reason for abandoning the reassurance of a pre-existing story.

Review: THIS IS MY FAMILY, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Mica Blackwell - May 29, 2025
