This diverse, engaging range work is live-streamed on Saturday 28th November 1pm, performed by an International cast including Sara Haggerty (West End), Chandni Supawala, Robert Firth, Julie Broadbent, Rebecca Phythian (pictured), Ryan Burle, Kirsty Higgins, Lisa Gabor, Laura England, Kara Cole, Judy Leonard.
