Thank you for this lovely review of Lights in the Park @reviewsbyjudith! Lights in the Park plays at @the_joan until 24 April. Don't miss out! Link in bio to book now. A @qtheatre_ and @atyp_theatre production. #Repost @reviewsbyjudith ・・・ "Occasionally writing up a production is really easy. There were 13 characters in the play last night and this morning each one is completely rememberable. I will have to use the program for the names, of course, but all of these young people brought a terrific character to the stage - each one with a story to tell, clear relationships and a very professional stagecraft.
