Shenton’s View

Pouring yourself a cup of ambition

 

“…….But it’s not as if musicals are not being written by (non-celebrity) women. At the recent Mercury Musical Developments 20th anniversary gala, work was heard by female members that included Cathy Shostak, BB Cooper, Barb Jungr, Jennifer Toksvig, Gwyneth Herbert, Christine Denniston, Denise Wright and Pippa Cleary. So it isn’t an absence of members or ability.”
