Alex Carr and Florence King are two establishing members of Old Fruit Jar Productions. It was founded in 2019 by the pair, along with four others they had met while working on This Girl - a play about Cynthia Lennon, John Lennon's first wife - in Liverpool.
Alex, 26, and Florence, 29, both live in Southport, with the other creators based across the North West. At the moment, they make adaptations of pre-existing stories.
Old Fruit Jar originated from a combination of enthusiasm and frustration. Alex is Artistic Director, playing a large role in directing the shows, while Florence is the Programme Administrator liaising with venues about performances. There are four other members of the collective.
