I left Japan three weeks ago now, and I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed this wonderful Spirited Away company. As they move from Tokyo to Osaka, they will become more and more like Chihiro, fighting the ghosts, climbing the ladders and flying through the air. Bless you all!

All our non-Japanese creative partners had to work from the UK and the US on zoom, getting up at all hours of the night and day to attend rehearsals and previews and still managing to make magic with their extraordinary talents.

Our cast of 40 actors and dancers, led by Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi have been unbelievably supportive and positive throughout the most arduous rehearsal process I've ever had to endure. But we're open!

@JoCaird George Gissing - first great socialist novelist. Amazing detail in describing the lives of the artistic demi-monde. New Grub Street, The Old Women….and many more. Clear influence on Orwell.
