Arden Creatures

Arden Creatures have been playing at the Cockpit Theatre as part of the Camdem festival. Yesterday I met up with the cast and crew before their last performance to do a photoshoot with them. You can read more about the play and their theatre company Footfall Theatre on their webpage.
