The performance features a cycle of songs especially composed and performed by Red Gray and Sarah Nicolls on the extraordinary `Inside-out Piano'. The piece is directed by Zoe Bouras with choreography by Kate Webster who also performs and features lighting design by Kristina Hjelm and costume design by Rosie Whiting.
