Me and the Young Vic space

9 years ago I had my fusion wedding tea ceremony in the Young Vic Bar space (see above picture snaps) 

14 years ago an architect friend of mine* helped re-design the Young Vic theatre

24 years ago, I sold books to David Lan (recently departed AD) in Elgin Crescent, in a bookshop that only exists in memory now.

15 years ago, I had my only insignificant moment on a London stage (I’m firmly a not-on-stage-person), where at the Young Vic Studio I had the tiniest part in the reading of a Mark Ravenhill play (an early version of the Cut) playing Gita, a mute waiter, directed by John Tiffany (now famous for directing JK Rowling's Cursed Child amongst other achievements)

I'm having the next mingle 31 May there, do come.

*See HAT Projects where she is now - I am forever in awe of the value of design and the intangible way our built environment nudges us for better or for worse. Hana has helped design some remarkable things and I continue to be in awe of the legacy she will leave from it.
