The Victorian in the Wall - T961654446So far, all that's clear is that this involves a grumpy writer discovering a Victorian man living in a wall of his flat. Everyone's pretty surprised. Adjustments have to be made. There are probably songs too (and hitting green recycling boxes like drums). There's a mysterious African man and there might be a music hall chanteuse. Hopefully it's like a fairy tale set in a world you may recognize, of knock-throughs and cappuccinos and recycling, where everyone has everything but somehow that's not enough.Producer Royal Court Theatre.
