“Bravo on a fantastic show!! Real enjoyed what I would describe as a playfully anarchist, meditation on the rituals of the theatre and meaning of spectatorship.” - June Fukumura

A huge thank you from all of us to everyone who came to see the show. We loved being able to play and share this work with you 🙏
