Every time I left the tent, a policeman would try to march me away because I didn’t have a performance licence. Kneehigh has always evolved – a script by Nick is miles away from the landscape work that [then artistic director] Bill Mitchell did. One school production started with a story I’d read but I’d forgotten the author and created it from what I recalled. I’d worked in theatre that pretended the audience wasn’t there; Kneehigh treated the audience as another surprise element. Working with Kneehigh is like running away with the circus.
