It’s diminutive to say that a lot has changed in the past nine years. What are we even saying, a lot has changed in the last two alone!

In 2019, Christopher Durang’s piece had its debut overseas in Bath with a subsequent London run scheduled for March 2020. We all know what happened next and why we had to wait to see it.
