Much of Lisa’s early work was with puppets, and she and John Barber have collaborated several times, forming Captain Mermaid Theatre Company, making musical puppet horror for adults. Their first show ‘Captain Murderer and the Morecambe Mermaid’ toured nationally twice and they look forward to following its success with their second show (“when we get 5 minutes!”)
This is Lisa’s second show directing for AZ2B and she is excited to be involved in ‘What Do You See?’ from its creation.
