Pleasure working with you all! Shame I couldn't be there though, no thanks to the train strikes but understandable when people have to fight for their rights.

Our @ace_national funded R&D of Actually, Love @TheNorthWall earlier this year allowed this show to take shape. We worked with Digital 4 and @deepgiggles to create a captioned and BSL interpreted showing. Peep the captioning unit/interpreter in these pics!!
