As they become reacquainted with her and the other teachers that helped shape them, memories of their vivid and imaginative lessons come to life and their tales of London inspire Richard and Julie once more.



Stephen Poliakoff's first new theatre play for over a decade celebrates the power of storytelling to raise the human spirit.
