Teetering on the cusp of childhood and adulthood, Marinka’s frustrations and determination to find her own way in the world will truly strike a chord with the intended readership. This age-old conflict is delivered with heart and skillfully interwoven with the glorious trimmings of the original folklore. Add to this the twists, the unveiling of truths and the critical choices Marinka must make and you have a heartily satisfying novel that’s ideal for fans of Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. Older readers might also enjoy Circus of the Unseen, which offers an alternate re-working of Baba Yaga’s infinitely enthralling Slavic folklore. Radiant with wonder and wisdom, this is an exceptional debut. Lisa Howard and Eve De Leon Allen really are a perfect match. Neither one over powering the other, and neither one fading into the shadows. This casting choice is utter perfection and the chemistry on stage is just amazing. Indeed, her world is a largely unforgiving one and Marinka makes mistakes which sometimes cannot be repaired but I loved the writer more for making these choices and agree when Anderson states that: ‘life is full of joy and sorrow, loneliness and companionship, pride and regret’. For Marinka, the world is selfish as much as it is alluring, warm as much as it is cruel and complex and as much as it is clear. No wonder then, with her blustering knee-jerking approach to it, I am drawn so conflictingly to her for she represents many of the qualities that I saw in myself as a teenager. She makes mistakes aplenty, often won’t accept the responsibility and blames others, immediately regrets some of her actions but chooses to not learn from her mistakes: she is more human than most.

Darüber sollte man sich im Klaren sein - gerade auch für Kinder - dass es hier viel um das Sterben und die Toten geht. Aber auf eine sehr liebevolle, sorgsame Weise, die mich nicht traurig, sondern hoffnungsfroh gemacht hat und für das Alter entsprechend wirklich sehr einfühlsam erzählt ist.

She wrote textbooks until characters from Slavic folklore began appearing in her work. Sophie has an international family and loves to write stories inspired by different folklores and cultures. Now living in the Lake District with her husband, Sophie enjoys the freedom of home schooling her three children, fell walking, canoeing, and daydreaming. Außerdem muss es vor den Lebenden verborgen bleiben und die Gerüchte um die "menschenfressende Hexe", die in solche einem Haus wohnt, sind natürlich auch Marinka bekannt.
Ever since reading about Baba Yaga in one of Andrew Lang’s collections, I have always had a fascination with the witch with iron claws who flies around in a pestle and mortar. What Sophie Anderson brings, having been inspired by her grandmother’s fairy tales, is something different. Doch das Haus bleibt nie lange genug an einem Platz und wandert auf seinen staksigen Hühnerbeinen von Ort zu Ort, um die Toten zu empfangen.For Marinka's grandmother is Baba Yaga, who guides spirits between this world and the next. Marinka longs to change her destiny and sets out to break free from her grandmother's footsteps, but her house has other ideas... Much to her chagrin, Marinka is destined to be the next guardian of the gate. When Baba disappears, Marinka has to figure out on her own whether she is truly suited for such a destiny. Every night is party night at Marinka’s house. There’s food, drink, music and lively conversation… But all the guests are dead.

Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense (Salisbury Playhouse/Bolton Octagon), Around the World in 80 Days (Bolton Octagon) The piece had lovely and impressive musical numbers, with all members of the cast playing various musical instruments live on stage throughout the performance. The instruments also served regularly throughout the show, as music was used as the language of the dead—a beautiful and poetic element. Additionally, the show demonstrated very creative methods of artistic expression. Certain scenes that would have been difficult to act out on stage, such as boating down a canal or swimming in the sea, were rendered through an elegant and synchronized use of puppets. Marinka’s fantastical journey through the gate was also animated and projected on scene to provide a fuller representation of her trek through an ocean and up ice mountains than would have been possible with a set. Opera includes: Wolf, Witch, Giant, Fairy (Royal Opera House with Little Bulb theatre, Oliver Award Winner, Best Family Show), Seven Deadly Sins / Bluebeards Castle (Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires)
