Janie and I were very excited about this visit to the Bush – the first since the major refurbishment and our first visit to the new Studio.
We really like the way they have refurbished the bar, library and garden/yard to utilise the space so much better. Still a friendly vibe, too.
We bumped into my friend Nigel from the health club, who had popped into the bar with his girlfriend, Candice, ahead of a visit to the flicks around the corner.
The play was excellent. A short, two-hander of a chamber play; very touching and moving.
It is described in the Bush resource on this play/production – here.
Very understated, yet lots going on about loneliness, lost love and how people’s lives can pan out.
Only a short run at the Bush but I do hope the play goes on to do well.
- Lyn Gardner in the Guardian liked this “small play with a big heart”;
- Natasha Tripney in The Stage also liked it for it’s heart.
In the spirit of trying new things, we also tried Vietnamese food from Tem Tep in Church Street, which we’d been meaning to try for a while. Pretty good; we’ll try some more dishes from there for sure.
