Summer 1954 returns! We’ve been on hiatus but we’re back with a bang in Chichester, Richmond, Cheltenham & Oxford. Two short plays by Terence Rattigan about love, regret, cruelty, prejudice, disappointment, courage, small acts of kindness & embracing change. Maybe see you there? 🀞🏽

Our second piece! @timbano.bsky.social delivers a deep dive on Robert Icke's Greek tragedies, his formula for β€œmaking theatre cool again”, and why we're compelled to return to these stories about sex and death
