'an exceptional piece of work from Wass and Moore' - View from the Cheap Seat

NOTCH received a critically acclaimed run at VAULT Festival 2020 after being developed in collaboration with the creative team after Danaja brought 10 minutes of the piece to The Thelmas' women's writers group in 2018.
​
NOTCH was due to run at Summerhall as part of Edinburgh Fringe 2020.
