I'm hugely excited to be performing in Deafinitely Theatre's touring production of Something Else, because in today's world it's important to champion inclusion and diversity. It's one of the great privileges of the arts to be in a position to do that, and I'm chuffed to be working with some of those champions on this show. They are a constant inspiration in my work with my own company, Hot Coals Theatre, and to me as a performer.
