Anthony directed the actors in the recorded drama and focussed ideas about the live presentation. He is Artistic Director of Common Players Theatre in Devon, for whom he directs and performs original theatre works. He has worked in the hybrid world of early music and theatre before, most notably with The Consort Of Musicke's Revels of Siena. Recent productions have included Robin Hood and a touring adaptation of Shakespeare's Tempest which fused image projection with live and recorded music, puppetry and live performance, on village greens.

A selection of Perrin's films made with renowned architect David Adjaye are currently touring the world as part of an exhibition for the Whitechapel Art Gallery.

Laurie Stras

Laurie studied harpsichord, piano and singing at the Royal College of Music, and gained her doctorate from the University of London. Before returning to postgraduate studies, she pursued a freelance career as both singer and keyboard player, including four years in the Royal National Theatre company as musical director for both touring and repertory productions. Her research interests have been succintly summed up (by a friend) as "girl groups from Ferrara to Motown." Her current projects include a book-length study of Connie Boswell and the Boswell Sisters, an edited book on 1960s girl singers, and a series of articles on the Ferrarese priest-composer Lodovico Agostini.
