There’s much that connects Jonah and Sophie – each has lost a parent to cancer and both are struggling to adapt to life in London, barely keeping afloat in the great metropolis. So it seems right that they gravitate towards each other in their own inimitable way, finding their own sort of connection, masquerading as love. For though this may seem like an indie version of a rom-com, its heart lies somewhere deeper, more meaningful in uncovering the complexities of being with another.
Wyatt and McEntire are both excellent, completely unafraid of the closeness of the audience in this attic room, connecting strongly through the compelling charm of their monologues and sharing that emotional intensity through no small measure of eye contact, which pulls the watcher right into their world. It’s a delight of a play and a corker of a production, definitely recommended. NB:
