This week Julian paid a visit to the London Theatre Workshop to take a look at You Tweet My Face Space. Once again, LTW hosts another outstanding event: this time, a Pre-Edinburgh Fringe preview of an original new comedy, written and produced by Tom Hartwell and directed by Lilac Yosiphon, starring ten recent graduates of Mountview Academy (BA Acting). The company they invited in, Boots and Cats Productions, is partnered to them and they have worked closely together in creating this preview. Ray Rackham and Skye Crawford’s LTW has just scored an immense hit with its scaled up transfer to the Southwark Playhouse of last summer’s success at Eel Brook Common, ‘Through The Mill‘.

What makes the entire experience worth seeing and savouring is the terrific central turn from Liberty Buckland as Yarico.

Apartment 40C, is a new musical conceived, written and workshopped at London Theatre Workshop which gets its World Premiere in Fulham from Wednesday 3 to Saturday 20 December. Featuring six actors playing two characters, Apartment 40C explores how relationships are affected by the endless possibility of choice. Told over the course of one evening, the musical examines decades of love, happiness, regret and loss; chances taken and options missed; and how it is sometimes impossible to make any kind of distinction between the past and the present. The musical features Alex Crossley, Alex James Ellison, Peter Gerald, Nova Skipp, Drew Weston, Lizzie Wofford. Apartment 40C is written by joint London Theatre Workshop Artistic Directors Ray Rackham (book and lyrics) and Tom Lees (music).
