Lullabub

Lullabub was a commission from Theatre Hullabaloo in Darlington for Anna and her long-time collaborator, composer David Goodall.

Floating in Alison Heffernan’s gorgeous dreamsky design, voices, lights and textures delighted tiny audience members and their adults alike.

The piece was exquisite, ebbing and flowing with action and human interaction moving both child and adult into moments of ‘other’ that appeared to be individually experienced and shared, whilst remaining anchored within and respectful of the closeness and intimacy of infant dependency.

I was really moved by the quality and beauty of this afternoon’s show. Parent
