My daughter was in NY and loved it!

[@free.cereal]

I saw this on Wednesday and I loved it!! Loved everything about it!

[@luckyleo1233]

Mentally broke down when I saw the play live, too many emotions to process in a nutshell.

[@lagoonalust]

omg watched this today and im blown away/ so captivating

[@Hennell]

Having only heard the radio version of this, this staging looks nothing like what I'd have imagined! Looks like quite a creative take on the idea, be very interesting to see how it works with the story.

[@RB-mq6em]

I saw the original staging of this at the National in 2012 and loved it. Not sure I like this version but not seen it yet.

[@samosullivan1744]

The acting in this is mesmerising! Paapa Essiedu and Michele Austin better get Olivier nods!!

[@UsamaMahmoudSultan]

What are the light fixtures used to light this especially the strap down lights ? I'd be thankful for an answer

[@DancerGirl-24]

not sure and couldn't work out what exactly this staging/lighting was supposed to do? Normally, the National Theatre things are pretty exciting though.

[@EthanDCash]

I agree. They seem really excited about lighting techniques that have been used for a while and they seem really weirdly excited about making a tennis court theater. Maybe the actual show compliments this stage design/lighting well, but I’m not sure

[@luizsanta-clara3003]

Thanks. We really needed a full video explaining to us how very simple, utterly unimaginative stage lighting works.

Looks intruiging
