Produced by the Original Theatre Company and adapted for the stage by Rachel Wagstaff, the production is directed by Philip Franks. The tour’s creative team also includes designer Adrian Linford, lighting designer Emma Chapman, sound designer Max Pappenheim, movement director Sophia Vi and casting director Ellie Collyer-Bristow CDG.
