Ballad Lines post-show video and photos: Expressing female empowerment via folk music - Terri Paddock When director Tania Azevedo and composer Finn Anderson were first commissioned to write a new musical, they decided to follow two parallel lines of exploration.

To borrow a line from @balladlines.bsky.social, there was 'a distinct lack of d*ck' on my Q&A panel at @swkplay.bsky.social.

A perfect way into discussing the themes around female agency & choice. With director/co-creator, producer & the full cast.
