“It has a similar feel to Raddlesham Mumps but this is less Gothic and more traditional folk-tale. It focuses on the idea that children can shape their future whatever life throws at them.”
Writer, performer and storyteller Murray Lachlan Young says that by using Pokemon Go technology he hopes that this will result in storytelling for a tech savy younger generation.

Back at the New Wolsey, the spring season continued with the launch of the UK tour of Once – again sharing many of the same cast members who were featured in the original 2018 production. Again the re-staging was a huge hit and played to packed houses featuring Emma Lucia as the enigmatically named ‘Girl’ and Daniel Healy as ‘Guy’. It was the perfect, feelgood start to what we assumed would be a marvellously creative year.
