“On the night of June 14th, I saw one of the most beautiful, intense pieces of live art I’ve seen in a very long time. As the title of the performance

“The Queen of Puddings is the most focused production company in town, obsessed with presenting and expressing modern music in a way that engages a non-classical audience in terms it can understand – visually.”
