Super proud of this show, the school tour , and everything achieved. Making a show for all- bigging up parts of south west london - Merton- that is a secret hub of magic and creativity - and doing so in a way that doesn’t patronise or talk down to Young people!
And as a cast of global majority and WC creatives from places like Sutton, Mitcham and Croydon - being able to create in our own creative lyrical lexicon has meant that the show resonates with a larger demographic and uses language in a way that we revere the bard for doing so himself. - fun, witty , irreverent and sick.
…ok …onto the next show !
Totally delighted for the team on R&J. Just two days after this show has performed to almost 2,000 students in schools to remove cost barriers - so so deserved
