Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing and talented women out there! 💕

Fable’s creative directors, @fayeejward and Hannah Farrell produced SUFFRAGETTE in 2015, celebrating women’s suffrage in the UK. It’s now streaming on @channel4 - a great watch this Sunday afternoon 📺

Huge thanks to everyone we worked with in 2025. We were lucky enough to bring Wild Rose: The Musical to life, and Mr Loverman received a mountain of plaudits.

We feel incredibly grateful. Even while feeling the pinch, as we all know TV & Film has been tough this year. Here’s hoping 2026 brings a little more luck, plenty of creative energy, and the chance to keep working with such wonderful people.
