BABIES
By Jonathan Harvey
Manchester School of Theatre, April 2021
This was my first full production at a drama school and in quite unusual circumstances as it was 2021, and the show would be filmed socially distanced - so as you can see from the photos each character is 2m apart at all times! And no props throughout.
It’s fair to say I wouldn’t direct this in the same way again - staging a socially distanced conga line in Act 2 was a particular challenge. But I learnt a huge amount from it as a director and I’m incredibly proud of what we made together at a very difficult time.
It was a joy to work closely with Jonathan as he supported the me and the production throughout.
