Ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to be alright!

We were all thrilled to learn there were also strawberries dipped in chocolate!

50% of the schools we’ve visited this month have been entirely new to our work, and 50% know us of old

There is so much to look forward to, if only the pandemic does not scupper all our plans once more.

Romeo & Juliet. I somehow feel the question “What is a Masked Ball?” might be a little redundant now we are so familiar with face coverings!

I’ve never considered myself to be a Barbara Broccoli and now I know I’m not!

After the weirdest of weird 18 months for children, staff and parents alike (not to mention the humble drama practitioner), FINDING THE WILL is back!

I just want to say something publicly here about FINDING THE WILL’s co-founder and my very dear friend, Richard Curnow.

In a typical year, FINDING THE WILL works with 2000 children but in this untypical year it’s been about 600.

Now if anyone had said to me this time last year “Good luck for your run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2021” I’d have said “Go shake your ears!”.

f you’d told us this time last year, that a year later, we would be preparing for a Monologue Marathon in Edinburgh, we would have told you to get lost before you could say ‘Barnard Castle’.

It’s been a while but we are back in the saddle! Since we were last in touch, FINDING THE WILL has been into two schools – two new schools to us into the bargain – and we are thrilled that the magic is still there!

We’re cranking up the engine, there’s some spluttering, but the sound of a smooth transmission is so close now. The road ahead looks slightly daunting and yet bits of it seem familiar. We are just waiting for the final ‘Road Closed’ sign to be removed and we’re off! And we can’t wait!
