November in NW3 has been a busy month, grafting away at the Central School with some remarkable new young actors. The show we’re putting on is designed by my long-term comrade-in-arms, the brilliant Alexander McPherson, and is a truly striking piece about the life of a struggling young artist in the gay, often desperate, shifting world of Soho during the General Election of 1945.
If you’re in London, please come.
