a play by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime) performed by Rose Reynolds (RSC, Netflix, BBC) and Philip Robinson (The End Is In The Beginning, Every Brilliant Thing) Directed by Pippa Marriott (Word Kitchen, Washing Machine Of Destiny)

"We're living in uncertain times, anxious times. This play is based on the idea that 'Do you know what, that uncertainty, rather than it being frightening, it might be the start of the most remarkable adventure. If you don't know what's going to happen in your life, that's not necessarily a bad thing. To be alive, to be human, is empowered by our alertness to the unpredictable. - Simon Stephens
