It’s not often that a production has a complete cast who shine gloriously, each in their own way, but Chris Woodley’s Next Lesson is an exception.
Directed by Andrew Beckett, the show tackles a topic that could be labeled as overdone and predictable. However, the manner in which the show was executed made for a touching experience in a nostalgic manner.
All bar the talented and beautifully bummed Sam Goodchild playing the core character, the cast do a remarkable job interchanging roles and even more remarkably, outfits.
Although this makes for some difficulty following who is who as each scene changes, it is only a minor detail against the brilliant acting and script. Highly relatable for any gay Londoner who grew up in the late eighties to early nineties, and a swift reality check with how far we have to go as a community. A worthwhile production and big kudos to all!
Next Lesson is playing at Above The Stag Theatre until September 16.
