Welcome to Crafted Reality! In this episode we continue chatting with our good friend Hannah McPake, an actor, director and playwright who collaborated with us on a project called DYAD: RISE & SET. An at home multi-sensory experience created for sunrise and sunset that combined captivating audio and beautifully designed literature to create a moment of solace, reflection and connection. We talk about the creative process and inspiration behind the project.

ABOUT HANNAH
Hannah's work is often inspired by history or reimagining's of well-known stories, it puts female characters squarely centre stage, usually playful and comic but unafraid to delve into the dark side of life, big-hearted and quietly political.
