We are pleased to say that the celebrated theatre director Tony Graham has joined the team to direct the new production, "Centrally Heated Knickers" in 2013, featuring the music of The Homemade orchestra, composed by Tim Whitehead and Colin Riley, and the poetry of Michael Rosen who takes the lead role in this science and ecology fantasy journey .

Tony was artistic director of London's Unicorn Theatre for 13 years. Graham's work for children and young people includes his current production of Beauty and the Beast, as well as productions of The Tempest, Red Red Shoes, Adrian Mitchell's Jemima Puddle-Duck and her Friends and Clockwork, an opera based on Philip Pullman‟s novella.

His 2003 production of Phillippa Pearce's Tom's Midnight Garden, which was adapted for the stage by acclaimed children's dramatist David Wood won the 2003 TMA Award for Best Show for Children and Young People. Graham's own adaptation and direction of Michael Morpurgo's Billy the Kid won Time Out's Family Show of the Year in 2007 and was revived by the Unicorn in 2011 as Graham's final production as artistic director.
