After far too many hours fighting with various programs over the years, a defeat (and victory) has finally occurred... our ideal website design has been put on the backburner, and a sexy version created for the short-medium term. We hope you love it's bright colours as much as we do.
Also, if there are any web builders out there (probably ones savvy with Flash) we'd love to hear from you.
Finally, if you find any links that aren't doing what they should, or any typoes, please let us know!

Overdue web updates
Appologies for the delayed updates - a home/office break in has meant the loss of a great deal of work and equipment forcing a serious delay in updates. We're starting to get back on track now, and hope to finish updates this month. For those well farmiliar with the website, please note the change to a single "Productions and Products" tab from the previous multiple show titles, and standarised presentation of the information. Note also upcoming projects, and the full review listing (to be posted asap).
