Want to know a little more about our brand new production The Law Of Mayhem?
Across this week we'll be sharing some clips we filmed with the creative team working on the project, to give audiences an insight into the fascinating world of Michael and Roberta, and... why now is the perfect time to shed a light on their story.
In this short video, we speak to writer Tabby Lamb about her research process and the journey she went on discovering this vital piece of trans history, in which #Basingstoke played an important part.
The show premieres at The Haymarket (18-20 Sept) in just over a week's time and we hope you will join us!
