Feels like a lifetime since I saw the original @neilhimself @OceanOnStage in 2020, but seeing it again in Edinburgh tonight with @ad_watt was every bit as breathtaking. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by @neilhimself is by far my favourite of his books so getting to see the @NationalTheatre production tonight was a treat indeed. I’ve never seen anything like it.
