    One night, a couple are attacked on the street, Sam appears to chase a mugger away, he returns to a devastated Molly cradling his bloodied corpse and realises he’s dead.
    Oh wait - that’s Ghost (1990).
    Well, one of us keeps dying.
    We’ve been apart for a while and things are feeling different.
    Come and see us try again after 6 years.
    Our bodies are different - its taken a long time to grow together - like formations in a cave - we’re here to re-emerge.
    How long does it take for stalagmites to form? I’m not sure we have that much time...
    One of us keeps dying.
    Please clap.

    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.
