Our hero, the writer Heath wakes with a hangover and doesn't recognise where he is. Just as he's trying to work things out someone crashes into the room and begins to berate him. It's Deacon, one of his characters! They don't like the way their story is going! A debate ensues, and each antagonist calls on their literary heroes to help. These include Tolstoy and Virginia Woolf!
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.
