This brought together so many threads of enjoyment. The photos of Sarah Ainslie always transport me to the specialized work environments of makers. As a mixed media artist, I would love to spend some time in this workshop…….dare I say, the crammed bulletin board looks just like mine. When I read
“Little Angel Theater” I knew that it had a familiar ring to it — then I recalled that Joe Wright was the director of one of my favorite films, “Anna Karenina”. It is one of the most visually-imaginative films ever, and I often watch the DVD just to re-screen the details of the settings, props, and art direction.
Congratulations to Ms. Wright and her collaborators for continuing the magical traditions of puppetry. Hurrah and huzzah!

I have said it before but I don’t think there is anywhere else in the world that we could get a better read with such a high standard of research and original thought.
I have seen signs to the theatre many years ago when I worked in the area but never been there and I am amazed that it is still there and thriving. I think Spitalfields Life is a national treasure .

If I ever come to London again, the LITTLE ANGEL THEATRE is at the top of my list. I’m watching the imaginative plays right now. Wonderful.

Love & Peace

I hadn’t heard of it but have made a note to visit as soon as possible. I hope to see Larry whilst I’m there too.
