| Olga arose from a chance encounter with a young man whose mother, an artist, had died, leaving him surrounded with her works. Margot saw this as an example of pentimento, a term for a painting through which is glimpsed and earlier work, and once again Shakespeare's Sonnets, this time number 24, about painting provided support. | |||||

| Sonnetina is a romantic two-hander that was inspired from Margot's jury service at Norwich Crown Court.

Margot linked this to Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, which is about gardening, and the play is the result. | |||||
