Episode 4 of Dope Girls airs tonight on BBC One.
Between June 2023 and May 2024 I was beyond lucky to be in the midst of a whole host of brilliant people who combined their various talents into a beautiful whole.
It was a joy to be part of this adventure and thank you to Polly Stenham & Alex Warren for creating the series, then
@tranterjane22 &
@katecrowt for inviting me along.
Within a noisy, damp, former Nightingale hospital, an eerily seductive WW1 Soho began to emerge and then so much colour, passion and wildness exploded into life for many months.
We had everything going on: music, dancing, fires, murders! raves! Sometimes all at the same time.
Special shout out
@shannnnnny , who is basically all the fun, taste and talent in one person.

The utterly fantastic

@imogen__knight__moves__ who kept everyone moving in typical world class choreographer fashion.
And the ones without whom it would all fall apart
@mistywedge and
@kathynettleship
It was the first time I worked in Wales and felt so welcome there. Thank you.
Finally, nothing happens without the actors. We were blessed. Every single one from

Apologies to anyone I forgot to mention - I suck at Instagram.
The last photo was taken minutes after the last (extended hour) shot of the penultimate day. These are the real Dope Girls - love you all.
