What a lovely work of art based around reading, prohibited books and the nazi book burning, a theme that featured in our work as a company on 'More in Common'. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dezeen.com/2017/07/12/parthenon-of-books-marta-minujin-installation-forbidden-kassel-germany-documenta-14/amp/

Thank you so much to everyone for all the wonderful comments about Les Mis. We are still fundraising for the final tranche of money needed to pay for this project and the future legacy, so if you have been intending to donate but haven't done so yet, it's not too late and any donations, however small, are very welcome. Thank you! https://www.justgiving.com/campaigns/charity/bsyct/hearthepeoplesing

Today we left our beautiful home Devonshire Hall in Leeds to move to the venue in Batley & Spen. It's been a delight. It's been a hive of activity. It's been home.... We think this photo says it all...
