Sound Design: Peggy For You (theatre play)
By Alan Plater, directed by Richard Wilson, at Hampstead Theatre (Main Stage)
Agents are not supposed to be more famous than their clients – unless, of course, you are the formidable, outrageous and hilarious Peggy Ramsay…
Tamsin Greig stars as the legend that held complete sway over the theatre world in a career that spanned thirty years. Alan Plater’s very funny play is peopled with characters who fall under the spell of this unlikely heroine, who believed infinitely more in art than she did in money – or in good manners.

Sound Design: Folk (theatre play)
By Nell Leyshon, directed by Roxana Silbert, at Hampstead Theatre (Downstairs)
1903, Somerset. Rooted in the land where she has lived her entire life, Louie Hooper’s mind overflows with its songs – more than 300 of them passed down from her mother. Cecil Sharp, a composer visiting from London, fears England’s folk songs will be lost forever and sets out on a mission to transcribe each and every one. He believes Louie’s music should speak not just for this place but for the whole of England. But whose England?

Sound Design: Tsunagu/Connect Live (immersive performance)
By Kumiko Mendl and Kazuko Hohki, at Shoreditch Town Hall
Four Japanese women will serve as your tour guides on a kaleidoscopic journey across continents and decades, from Shōwa era Japan to the bedsits of 80’s London, via the Empire Windrush’s final voyage and present-day immigration nightmares.
Part exhibition and part performace, Tsunagu/Connect Live will give audiences an exhilarating and unpredictable series of live scenes that pop up in and amongst the exhibits, which feature objects related to and charged with the interviewees memories, fears and aspirations.
In their attempts to bridge Britain and Japan, the women reveal the complex, multi-layered reality of migrants reconciling with rootlessness.
