A play by Sarah Elaine Stewart.


When I grow up I want to be a princess who falls in love

And sleeps on a bed of feathers and butterflies

And be a ballerina and sing songs

And be a mermaid with long blond hair

And leave a trail of breadcrumbs so I never get lost

And be like everyone else

You. Will. Be. Happy.


Tales from a generation on the brink of responsibility.


3rd, 4th, 5th March 2010 at the Albany Theatre

Are our dreams unrealistic? Do our expectations have to diminish? Do we mortgage our lives on fame? Are we stuck in a rut? Or is this just how groing up goes?

We were devising a series of short scenes to highlight the changes the characters underwent from the allegorical world of the play to the ‘real’ world - a very creative rehearsal it was too!

We are rehearsing for quite a lot of the time underneath a church in Waterloo, its a very quiet part of London..this sign is on the back of the building, I don’t think you’ll ever see a more forceful or strongly worded sign anywhere!

Lauren McCarthy - Artdress blog

This is a link to Lauren’s blog, so you can see all the fabulous things she has been doing - incuding her time on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square. Lauren has designed and made the beautiful costumes for the play, she has also given up her house for many rehearsal’s and set making days and her gorgeous cat Coco has become one of the team - she made herself central to a scene we were rehearsing last Sunday and always likes to help out with chewing antique paper which is being built into the set. Coco, not Lauren! But do look at her blog, she is incredibly talented and a hero to the play!

Jeffrey Michael Design Website

Jeff is our set and lighting designer and this is his wonderful blog. Jeff’s lamps are currently on show at Liberty’s in Covent Garden and are soon to be featured in a number of designer interior stores. We have been working very very late for a couple of nights in East London to create some spectacular pieces for the set, which we are very excited about. His lighting designs are one off pieces and utterly beautiful and tactile. Jeff also likes to say muffin a lot i’ve noticed…

We were all promised heaven in our lifetimes and what we ended up with can’t help but suffer in comparison. And God You get old so quickly
