Guest Blog: 'It Has Been An Honour And An Enormous Responsibility': Samantha Lane on Adapting TOTO THE NINJA CAT AND THE GREAT SNAKE ESCAPE For The Stage
by Guest Author - May 13, 2026
Adapting Toto the Ninja Cat and The Great Snake Escape for the stage has been both an honour and an enormous responsibility. Not only is the story clearly very close to Dermot O'Leary’s heart (the cats are inspired by his own) but the books are deeply loved by thousands of young readers. When children arrive at the theatre already carrying a story in their imagination, you have to treat that trust very carefully. The challenge is finding a way to stay true to the essence of the book while also allowing the creative team to make something genuinely theatrical and new.

Make ’em Laugh: Romy Teperson’s Distinct Voice As A Comedic Actress
by Team BWW - Mar 30, 2026
A comedic voice that speaks to a generation is, to put it mildly, a powerful title. But comedic actress Romy Teperson has never been afraid of dizzying heights, nor one to shy away from ambitious achievements. It is unclear whether the call to acting is a result of sheer talent or her unique comedic delivery’s ability to garner attention from Hollywood’s best to ever do it. What is clear is that Teperson has both, in spades, and then some.
