“If art is constantly about sex work, which it is: people are obsessed with it, there's only so much you can stand before people start taking it back and reclaiming it,” says Siobhan Knox.

Siobhan, along with Alex Etchart, is the co-director and co-producer of the the London-based Sex Workers' Opera (SWO), which begins its first full two-week run at the Pleasance Theatre tomorrow night on 17 May.
