Gail Borrow

Gail Borrow is a writer, curator and theatre maker, bumping into fascinating curiosities all the time. There’s so many of them that they require a bit of juggling. Gail never learnt to juggle (she’s pretty rubbish at flying a kite, the 14 times table and would prefer not to be beaten at scrabble). Attempting, missing the catch and doggedly pushing on takes her to surprising places.
