This isn’t going to like my usual reviews because I don’t want to give ANYTHING away.
Don’t research the play. Don’t look it up. Just go and experience it blind.
Trust me.
I can’t bare being anything but vague at the moment. The play contains such a journey in tone and experience that I feel the best way to see it is to encounter every high and low as the protagonist does.
It’s important, relevant theatre; incredibly entertaining, wonderfully written, and impeccably acted.
WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT!
Clever design and seamless direction.
Writer Tim Cowbur is a genius.
Ncuti Gatwa, Nick Blakeley, and Yusra Warsama shine.
It’s absurd. It’s heart-breaking. It’s hilarious.
It made me angry.
It’s the sort of play that I started reviewing plays to see.
Go book your tickets now, okay?
