Ongoing Things

The Open Arms public house
An online collaborative project



The Open Arms unbolted its doors when all other pubs closed theirs. It is a focus for and record of locked-down conviviality. Dive in for a swift sharpener or settle down to a hearty session. Turn the music up or off, avoid anyone you don't like the look of. The place is yours. And better still - everything is on the house.




Things in Limbo

She Described It to Death
A cancelled opera
Music: Matt Rogers
Libretto: Sally O'Reilly
Director: Anna Morrissey




What would happen if humans lived as long as trees? This chamber opera speculates on how near-immortality might change our understanding of what is truly important. Its complex story reflects our often-disastrous relationship with narrative itself.

Commissioned and not quite produced by Royal Opera and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
