On This Day: 26th May

Back Before The Lockdown this was a day for the unexpected. in 2015 There are a few actors I adore, whose work is consistently impressive and there are, equally, a few that I just cannot take a liking too. In this latter case it's not necessarily that they are bad actors but often that I have never found any of their characters sympathetic or understandable.

Until today! in 2009 I had seen a couple of solo shows some years earlier but I reckon this is the one that cemented my appreciation for this type of theatre. In You Can See The Hills with no set and mostly just sat on a chair, William Ash told the story of a young t...
