What is thrilling about this production is the two principal actors, Rebekah Morrell as Juliet and Alfred Enoch as Romeo. The love and attraction connection between these two is believable and we want them to succeed. They both speak the verse really well so we can hear every word in this space, when at some time, because of columns, we will be unable to see who is speaking.

June (Naana Agyei-Ampadu) is dying of breast cancer which has developed secondary cancers.June is probably the least obviously dramatic of the four. She is a lighting designer and the playwright’s directions in the text is that the lighting has to be “wonderful beyond belief”. As she faces death we can see what is important to her as she quietly and sadly enjoys what little time she may have left.

The novel Diary of a Nobody was published in 1892. It was the work of humourist actors and writers, George Grossmith and his younger brother Weedon (whatever inspired the Grossmith parents to call him that?). It was hugely satirical in its day with its exposée of the pretentious middle classes attempt to impress their neighbours with all kinds of dishonesty and talking themselves up.
