Life as Theatre

'When the work explodes, as it does in Lara Lawman’s scintillating production, it reminds you that the future of the industry is bright.'
'I’ve rarely seen a relationship so carefully realised on stage, from light flirtation to explosive release, from pained arguments to tender love.'
