‘And that means something. That we’re here.’

Watching a group of characters desperately searching for meaning/escape while knowing there will be no more songs because their composer has died… I thought this was brilliant. Very entertaining. Deeply moving. #HereWeAre @nationaltheatre.org.uk
Here We Are at the National Theatre. Picture taken from audience of the set. A white floor and large panelled wall, mirror panels on the side wall and a ladder. Two actors on stage. One hoovering the set.

Apparently turning 28 means spending 20 mins on the phone to my mum enthusiastically telling her about the oven cleaning kit I’ve just bought. She was genuinely thrilled tbf.

Loved having a show on here last year. Sad that London is losing another studio space.
