Theatre Show People, Places And Things

Booking now for performances from Friday 3rd May to Saturday 10th August 2024.

Get ready to be swept off your feet by the dazzling whirlwind that is People, Places & Things—a show that returns to London's West End with the force of a standing ovation. At its heart, Duncan Macmillan’s masterpiece, directed by the visionary Jeremy Herrin and brought to life on a stage crafted by the genius Bunny Christie, promises an experience that's as unforgettable as the buzz of a great night out, without any of the next-day regrets.

The incomparable Denise Gough reprises her Olivier Award-winning role as Emma, an actress whose life script has taken a turn for the tumultuous. Critics have been left searching for words, ultimately landing on "explosive," "fearless," and "stunning" to describe Gough's performance, but even these seem to fall short of capturing her electrifying presence on stage.

People, Places & Things is more than just a play; it's a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of Emma's life, from the heady days of success to the sobering reality of rehab. It's about facing the truth when lies are so much more comforting, and the intoxicating allure of escape when the world feels too much to bear. Emma's journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in a world that often feels like it’s set against us.

This isn't just theatre; it’s a lifeline thrown out into the audience, asking us to grasp hold as it navigates the stormy seas of existence. For a limited 14-week season starting 3 May at the Trafalgar Theatre, People, Places & Things offers not just entertainment, but a mirror to our souls. Don’t just hear about it; live it. This is one show you can’t afford to miss.
