It's strange being back in Soho, three years after leaving central London for Somerset. I've returned bang into Broadwick Street, borrowing a flat around the corner from where I lived 10 years ago on Marshall Street, and beside William Blake House, where my dad had his flat in his eighties and I visited him as a teenager (as per my parents' custody arrangement).

First Night Swirling around the audience, this Dream is feverish, erotic fun
Nicholas Hytner’s acrobatic, erotic, playfully queered version of Shakespeare’s Dream seems even more delightful now than it was in 2019. It’s a fully immersive show, with audience members in the Bridge's hi-tech pit (there are seats too) swirling around action at ground level and on raised rostra but also gazing up at bodies twisting and flexing in silk slings up in the air. It’s beautifully staged and acted, thought provoking, technically brilliant, and ends up with a party. Seriously, what's not to like?
