Winner of The Herald Culture Award for Design 2019

Pagliacci is the story of a comedia troupe visiting a town during the feast of the assumption. Our production was conceived with the community at its heart. Scottish Opera came to Paisley in their curtain side trailer for Sma Shot day, a celebration of the historic victory of the weavers over their employers.

Performed in a Quad span tent on a large sports field with a company of nearly 200, including local bell ringers. The audience enjoyed Punch and Judy, a fortune teller, dressing-up, games, raffles, hotdogs, ice-cream, bubbles, a donkey and the Paisley parade of banners lead by the Charleston drum.

The chorus were dressed to be indistinguishable from a Paisley audience, so unexpectedly, the person standing next to you would suddenly start singing.

This was the very last production at Nottingham Playhouse before the 2020 lockdown.

Ironically about the 5 day lockdown to write “Gone With The Wind”.

Nominated for UK Stage Award for Opera and RPS Opera Award 2023

A site-specific promenade reimagining of “Candide (or Optimism)” set in a semi-open, Covid-safe 100m marquee on a Glasgow lorry park. The 85-strong community chorus included asylum seekers from the Maryhill Integration Network who mingled with the 400 capacity audience, providing an immediate close-up reconnection between audiences and performers. The show’s themes of war, global disasters, refugees, religious and political corruptiuon, misogyny, anti-Semitism, sex trafficking, gambling and substance abuse were illustrated via the “optimistic” lenses of social media, influencers and reality TV. Live video feed to four large screens meant the action was seen by all including those who could not promenade. All access and mobility issues for audience and performers were addressed early in the design stage with acting areas and seating banks ramped. A wheelchair route was offered but not made compulsory. Created sustainably wherever possible using Scottish Opera’s own scenic storage containers and the resources of Reset Scenery.
