Review: ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE YOUNG at Park Theatre

By Stuart King Tuesday, March 4 2025, 11:12

We discover Violet and Leonard in a hotel room during the war — April 1942 in fact — the night before he is due to be shipped off. Their inexperience and nervousness around each other, betrays thoughts of more portentous matters which must surely have overshadowed and overwhelmed many a young couple wanting to express their love and commitment for each other before the inevitable separation.
