This image was taken by Andrew Whittuck during rehearsals in May 2009. "For the Best" won the TMA award for best piece of children's theater 2009.
I created the dress based on an image and writing that a little girl who was on kidney dialysis had made whilst working with Mark Storor at Guys and St Thomas Hospital. It is the Sick Princess story and its design developed as a collaboration with Mark Storor , Cathy Wren and myself. Working in this way the boundaries between theatre, art and reality often become blured and something even more extraordinary is created.
