In March Abi McLoughlin performed in the one-woman show ‘The Principle of Uncertainty’ at new London fringe venue Draper Hall.
In a tour de force performance Abi led the audience through a scientific lecture that resulted in an emotional breakdown for her character.
The production received great reviews and there are already plans to remount the production at the Edinburgh Festival this Summer.

It was one hell of a month in March with Alpha losing 3 of its female members. It’s with great sadness we say goodbye to Louisa Tee, Judith Quin and one of our longest serving members Elizabeth Ross. We wish them all the best for the future.
