What people say about less is MORE –
“Funny, touching, heart-warming and chilling” “Sobering…recognising the many witty takes on life, relishing glorious comical moments” “Bravely tackles extremely sensitive, difficult themes and even manages to do this through comedy, not an easy brief.” “I would definitely recommend ‘less is MORE Productions’ and I can’t wait to see what they produce next.” “It was clear from the very beginning of the thought and commitment poured into the project. They worked and rehearsed, what seemed like every free second they had, which was very inspiring and made me want to work harder for them.”
less is MORE Productions, was created by Laura Lonsdale and David Tuffnell. Both Middlesbrough born and bred, they studied at ALRA and LAMDA, respectively, for 3 years.
