Joan As Police Woman - Witness

Even If It's a Lie (Demo)

Some days
I feel the weight of this world
in my hands, in my hands
I hear the song of unrest
and uncertainty

I think of lending the wind
all my plans, all my plans
Giving up all I have
to my empathy

My head is an ocean
My heart is a sky
And some days I am drowning
And some days I can fly

But as we close our doors
to those from troubled shores
I feel like I’m falling into my screen
As we find the facts
Do we turn our backs?
Let it all get lost between the cracks?

Or does anybody want to share my empathy?
Does anybody want to bear this weight with me?

Some nights
I feel the ache of our earth
in my head, in my head
I hear the drum of destruction
The drum of war

I lie awake and I ask
from my bed from my bed
Have we forgotten
what we need need each other for?

My breath is an anchor
My body a ship
Both hands al the helm now
I tighten my grip

But as these waters rise
and we avert our eyes
I’m paralysed, my two hands can do so little
So will you meet me
Out on the street, we can sing
for a better future

Or does anybody want to share my empathy?
Does anybody want to bear this weight with me?

Hard Times

Eilidh stares out to sea and dreams of a new life beyond her lonely island. Myth and reality collide when the tide washes a mysterious stranger onto her beach, changing her life forever. Epic storytelling, intimately staged with a contemporary Scottish folk-inspired score.

The two-hander cast of Kirsty Findlay (Olivier Award Nominated, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) and Bethany Tennick perform a whole host of characters, while weaving, building and layering their voices using looping technology to create an expansive, ethereal soundscape for the ears and imagination.

Winner of Musical Theatre Review’s Best Musical Award – Edinburgh Fringe 2019, Islander is conceived and directed by Amy Draper with a book by Stewart Melton and music and lyrics by Finn Anderson.

The press on Islander at this year’s Edinburgh Festival:

★★★★ ‘It’s a gorgeous production, rich in wit, musicality and transformation’ The Guardian
★★★★ ‘A delicate call for empathy in divided times’ Fest Magazine
★★★★ ‘Although a new piece of work, it feels timeless, like an archetype or folk tale.’ The Stage
★★★★★ ‘Utterly heartwarming, and executes all of its ideas with magnificent aplomb’ Broadway Baby
★★★★★ ‘These eight creatives offer us an outer world of welcome, a theatrical world to open our senses and a mythic majesty for us to wonder about which is often, like our futures, “shrouded in mist and invisible by day’. Musical Theatre Review
