I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this masterpiece in theatre and oh my god it's insane. I'm not particularly a theatre person as I did go to see this purely for Emma (where I was lucky enough to meet them, they are genuinely lovely) but it was absolutely worth it because it's a genuinely amazing piece of theatre . The story is incredible and heartbreaking at times, it genuinely took time to process what I had just seen. It got a complete standing ovation as it rightfully deserves. Everyone in this play is so talented and captivating, I truly love it.
