Bacon

Bacon does what solely theatre can do: it articulates complicated experiences which may in any other case be difficult to grasp. It examines many sides to all too recognisable social points, clearing the fog till the causes of toxicity and its subsequent injury turn out to be obvious. And it addresses what should be accomplished to vary issues. You will giggle, you’ll cry and you can be breathless once you depart.
