Hasbian - Theatre projection mapping

I worked with Beth Watson on their new show Hasbian, about growing up bisexual through 90s Brighton.

I designed the set and projection mapping, bringing the story to life through animated journal entries. This is a clip of a demonic Margaret Thatcher adapted from her famous section 28 speech. Section 28 was a law that meant that teachers had to basically pretend LGBT people didn't exist and weren't allowed to support any such kids to embrace those parts of their identity.

More info on the show and Beth Watson's work can be found here:
