Saw #rsc My Neighbour Totoro last night. What a breathtaking piece of theatre. Beg, steal or borrow a ticket. My eldest was spellbound, as was I. Theatre can do things sometimes. To the world, and to us

Also @Mei_Mac’s ability to transform into a toddler and hold much of the heart of the show is outstanding, not to mention the cool ability to handle a show stop whilst nattering with Totoro - incredible

Untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play @youngvictheatre was just as amazing as I’d heard it was. @Mei_Mac was breathtaking! I would happily watch it again if I hadn’t picked the final performance to see it for the first time!
