It's always a nerve wracking moment the opening of a show. As I sat in the auditorium watching the dress rehearsal in Southampton I was keenly aware of the responses of the couple sitting behind me. Charlie Folorunsho, 'The Man In The Hat' in our production is staying in digs with this couple and had invited them along.

I spoke to them afterwards and was touched to see the tears flowing... 'Did you know,' they told me 'that Southampton used to proudly display a sign in the dock with the words 'The Gateway to Empire.'
It felt just right that this piece about migration,with its epic ship journey, should dock first in Southampton port.
