When they began staging shows for children, the all-female Filskit theatre company commonly heard two questions. But what will happen when you have babies? And wouldn’t you rather be making proper theatre? Ten years on, the award-winning trio are busy presenting two new productions this month: an interactive online jamboree, Margot’s Magical Winter Wonder Party, and a new film adapted from their penguin tale, Huddle. With one Filskit baby born already, and two more due next year, the company is adapting to their changing lives, but that’s always been part of the process for this nimble operation co-run by best friends Victoria Dyson, Sarah Shephard and Katy Costigan.
