Martha

2055. The Programme has driven Deafness underground. Using sign language is forbidden and is a radical act of protest, evoking suspicion and oppression. Is Martha’s cabaret club a welcome home for an excluded minority, a safe haven for potential terrorists or something even more sinister?
When Edith tries to infiltrate this guarded community, her world is blown apart as hidden histories, family secrets and the lies of the state are brought explosively to light.

I was asked by Taking Flight: Wales’s leading accessible theatre company, to design a print poster and accompanying digital assets to promote their latest play. They wanted something that felt sci-fi-noir but also handmade and a bit gritty. The illustration was digitally painted before typesetting the poster and programme then applying it across diffreent outputs.

Hungry Nation, Strike a Light / Coventry City of Culture

It is claimed that there are more food banks than McDonalds in the UK.

Working with Foleshill Community Centre, Hungry Nation Part 1 presented themes around how food poverty and access to food affects real lives of the people in Coventry.

For this second stage, a creative team and a cast of professional actors and community participants are working together using storytelling, games, research and creative activity to develop a piece of theatre that reflects the everyday lives of those experiencing food poverty. Join us to reflect on these journeys and to debate what Coventry’s ‘Right to Food’ pledge really means.
