CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND CREATING DADDY LONGLEGS

​

Daddy Long Legs was in development for a year and a half after it became apparent that this level of violence was both physically on the increase and in that of society’s consciousness.  To ensure authenticity within the performance, a duty of care to our actors and audiences alike, we sought advice during that period from various professionals in both script development and supporting our cast:

 

• Charlotte Metcalf - Clinical Psychologist for Multi systemic team.

• Eugene Adam -  The multi systemic team - The Playfield Institute

• Kelly Almond - Youth Justice team, Fife Constabulary

• Hazel Walker - Counsellor

                                  (during the lead up to & including rehearsals)

• Trisha Marwick - MSP
