A new theatre production is always a big deal… possibly more so in smaller studio theatres like the Tabard in London, Chiswick W4, than in the West End, where finances are possibly less ‘life or death’.This is a new, two hander and I went to the press night. And managed to get the cast and creatives into the reception area of the theatre for a quick chat. Here it is! Notice another local business offering drinks…Show Review HERE.

Nick Hennegan goes inside the mind of English writer Aldous Huxley, who discusses a range of profound topics, including the literary contributions of D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce and Marcel Proust. Huxley explores the intricate dynamics of relationships, delving into the complexities of human connections and their impact on individual lives.His thoughts span various elements of life, emphasizing the interplay between personal experiences and broader societal themes. Huxley reflects on the significance of literature as a mirror to the human condition, drawing parallels between the struggles of his contemporaries and his own existential musings.Moreover, he examines the theme of human desire—how it informs our aspirations and often leads to disillusionment. This dialogue between Huxley and the existential questions posed by his literary peers sheds light on the enduring quest for meaning in a rapidly evolving world.Through Huxley's lens, we are invited to consider the depths of creativity, the spiral of thought that connects writers across generations, and the timelessness of the human experience, all while navigating adult themes that challenge societal norms and philosophical boundaries.www.BohemianBritain.com
