Some stories start long before the first audience ever sees them.
On 9 May 2026, Healing By The Hyem by Sarah Rumfitt took another step forward during a brilliant development workshop produced by Rise & Howl.
We had such a joyful, thoughtful and creatively charged day exploring the play together.
There was laughter, experimentation, questions, discoveries, moments that surprised us, and moments that landed harder than expected.
Exactly what development spaces should be.
A huge thank you to:
✨all the actors who brought such generosity, bravery and instinct into the room.
✨Paul Chewins for facilitating and directing the day.
✨ Leeds Playhouse for the space and continued support of new writing & creative development.
✨to Naomi for all your support behind the scenes.
✨Sarah Rumfitt for trusting us with Healing and allowing the work to be explored openly, collaboratively and playfully.
✨Jan Ruppe and Richard Rhodes from Script Yorkshire for their observations and insights throughout the process.
We’re excited to see where Healing goes next. 🖤
