Sydney & the Old Girl & Terrible People

A step further than anti-hero, I didn't understand who I was rooting for in this one, but I do love a baddie.

"I know you don't knit. What I meant was you could stick the bloody things up your nose and do us all an effing favour"

I was gifted this play by my B&B host during an audition down in Chichester. A generous offering of a deliciously heinous play, Eugene O'Hare had me shocked at every page and loving the intensity. At the same time, it felt like a window into the mistreatment of older people and I was a little horrified. No need to miss rollercoasters with plays like Sydney & the Old Girl.
