This week we are joined by Katie Friedli Walton who is a British-Swiss writer, director, and performer. Katie is starring as Jo Marsh in a revival of Little Women that centres the inherent queerness of Louisa May Alcott's story and autobiography. The production offers a fresh insight into the reading of the text and adds context from Alcott's life. The play will be presented at Polesden Lacey in Surrey (1st-2nd July) and at the Roman Theatre of Verulamium (2nd-5th August).

Katie is also developing a new short film that focuses on queer hope. Called "Waiting", the film will explore the complexities of queer life in a refreshing way that centres love and possibility. The film will be a phenomenal piece of cinema and is being created by a wonderful team.
