Synopsis

The adaptation I have chosen is by Laura Turner and the first performance took place in Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire, in June 2011. Spookily enough I am from Pembrokeshire, attending the girl's grammar school, where I was in Picton House and my father was a trustee of the Picton Estate! How's that for co-incidence?
