Happy Christmas from the Lyric

Sean and Joel on the first show

We had a chat with director Sean Holmes and writer Joel Horwood ahead of going into rehearsals on the ONLY sunny day of the festival.

A Quick Chat With Joel

We caught up with writer Joel Horwood ahead of setting off to Latitude with Jekyll and Hyde (ish)

Magic 8 Ball- Will It Rain At Latitude?

We're worried about the weather for the weekend, so we asked the Magic 8 Ball...

Can someone lend Alex a waterproof?

Alex can't find his waterproof for Latitude, so we've lent him the Poncho of DOOM. He didn't think it was that waterproof, so we've tested it in the name of science.

A brief look into rehearsals

We popped into the rehearsals for Jekyll and Hyde (ish) the other day. Here's what they were up to.

First Day Of Rehearsals

Rehearsals for Jekyll and Hyde (ish) are about to start, so we caught up with director Sean Holmes, writer Joel Horwood, John Nicholson from Peepolykus and Toby Park from Spymonkey.
