Hello Tracey Here is that quote – “Real artists are needed. There have to be those people in our life that take the risk. It is a very dangerous road to go down and it’s a tough walk, often accompanied by the black dog. But those people that put everything on the line to tell the stories are a necessity. They have to carry the cost of that themselves because at every turn there are stonewalls and obstructions”. – playwright Wendy Richardson.

I think you would also be interested to look at my recent Exhibition which is in the process of being developed to the next stage for touring which you can find here
