Here We Are at the National Theatre. Picture taken from audience of the set. A white floor and large panelled wall, mirror panels on the side wall and a ladder. Two actors on stage. One hoovering the set.

The person next to me was so excited to get a kazoo and then it just… didn’t work?? Like she was blowing into it and just no sound coming out. She was so upset.

Apparently turning 28 means spending 20 mins on the phone to my mum enthusiastically telling her about the oven cleaning kit I’ve just bought. She was genuinely thrilled tbf.

Someone’s posted about it in the Facebook producers group and there seems to be some wording on the website which strongly suggests it. Apparently full announcement in 2 weeks.
