⭐️⭐️⭐️ MEMORIAM at Southwark Playhouse from Monday’s press night. What happens when you propose editing and sanitising a 92 year old’s actual memories of Auschwitz to render them palatable to your virtual reality consumers? londonboxoffice.co.uk/news/p… @LBO_Theatre @swkplay

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ILFORD BOY at Donmar Warehouse. …chatty, nuanced, playful, crass, foul-mouthed with well-honed, utterly relatable characters thanks to Wynter’s sharp writing and Tim Sheader’s excellent direction. londonboxoffice.co.uk/news/p… @DonmarWarehouse @KMorleyPR @LBO_Theatre
