Behind the nightlight - some thanks so far...

Since first finding and falling in love with Liza Lehmann's musical settings of some of the Behind the Nightlight stories in June this year, it's been an adventure bringing them to the stage! 

So some thanks are in order:

• to Edward Picton-Turbervill for meeting with me after the Radio 3 recording and going through the pieces, and Tom Carradine for recording some backing tracks to experiment with
• ​to the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society and Lose Your Marbles Comedy for allowing me to experiment with The Blue Gueeze at their new material nights
• to Sarah Rose and Dusty Limits for saying yes to the idea of the Being Human Festival event
• to the Being Human Festival, and the CAA, RCSSD, Muriel Matters Society, and Francis Routh Trust for making the BH event possible
• to Janie Dee for her creative directing
• to Melinda Hughes for inviting us to Chelsea Arts Club
• to Brydges Place and David at the Museum of Comedy 
• to my agent Georgi at Gag Reflex Management 
• to the many friends who have been supportive and enthusiastic! Thank you all.

The whole show continues to evolve and I'm thrilled to have been able to include research as well as other music by Liza Lehmann in the show, including a piece from her score for the 1904 West End hit "Sergeant Brue" and one of the songs from her "Nonsense Songs from Alice in Wonderland" series from 1911. 

The next performance is on the 29th January at Crazy Coqs in Piccadilly Circus - here's the link: www.brasseriezedel.com/events/ada-campe-behind-the-nightlight-quaint-beasts-in-an-edwardian-nursery/?instance_id=1855088
