FE Recall: No.21 – David Micklem

I don’t like theatre. Most theatre, where actors pretend to be someone else, and we pretend that we believe them.

But it’s a wet night in Lancaster, 20 years ago. The UK premiere of Bloody Mess and I’m changed forever.

The show is funny and sad, chaotic and controlled. An epic, bloody mess of a piece of theatre. Perfect in its imperfections. I love it. Whatever it is. This theatre.
