Working on Trade has been a thoroughly enjoyable and very different experience for me. Having never worked with ThisisPopBaby before, I was very excited going into the project and haven't been disappointed. I try to avoid seeing any of the rehearsals of the shows I'm working on until such a time as there are full runs. The first run I saw of Trade was last Wednesday and I found it very intense but also very enjoyable. There is a huge air of nervous anticipation throughout the piece and this is carried very well by the performers. I am sure it will be well received in the festival.
