Written by Denise Deegan, ‘The Innkeeper’ is about a spirited 8-year-old desperate to play a part in her school Nativity Play. The script from Denise was sweet, serious and funny in just the right balance, and I relished the opportunity to work with a cast of young actors and get grounded performances from them while still having fun.
