Award-winning duo Paul and Laura are back! Following the Brighton Fringe Audience Choice Award win for My Heart is a Spark, they return with a joy-filled, tongue-in-cheek romp through the perils of trying too hard to be liked. But don’t worry - if you’re meeting them for the first time, all us people pleasers have asked the same question at some point:
What would you do if you stopped caring what others think?
Expect autobiographical theatre, music, some structured learning about sexiness and edginess, and two inner 12-year-olds embracing carefree nonchalance. Inviting “surprise and delight” and “beautifully poignant moments,” this sell-out show, now nominated for the OffFest Theatre Festival Awards, will bring laughter, fun and the inspiration to embrace who you truly are.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
