For my latest Meet The feature, I have been chatting to Pippa Le Grand the producer for the Only Lucky Dogs theatre company, which is housed within Sheffield’s historic Portland Works.
The company is comprised of five friends who met at the University of Sheffield, and are in the midst of their inaugural season at the venue’s Makers Space.

After a tough couple of years, plenty of people are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, undervalued and or anxious.
But so-called “stress master” Ches Moulton might just be able to help.
He’s a therapist - psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, life therapy and runs a business called the Stress Master based in Sheffield city centre on Rockingham Lane. He’s also a familiar face at Regus in Meadowhall and Portland House on Ecclesall Road, where he’s run seminars.
