A run-down, cheaply veneered wood-panelled office, sticks of dilapidated waiting room furniture, a gas heater and a wall mounted payphone which (when it rings), is answered “Car service” by the disparate group of constantly revolving drivers.

Review: THAT IS NOT WHO I AM (RAPTURE) at The Royal Court
By Stuart King Sunday, June 19 2022, 00:01

Who is the person really doing and saying these awful things? And who can Ollie trust to see the real him when the world sees him as a monster? Did the real him ever exist in the first place?”

A talented young company is due to make their West End debut in Joshua Harmon's hugely popular comedy, Bad Jews. It returns to the Arts Theatre in London for an 11 week run from Thursday 14th July.
