The ever enchanting Watermill Theatre in Newbury could hardly have hoped for more atmospheric weather to mark the opening night of their latest show, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.

30 and Out is a hilarious, sexy and painful portrayal of what it means to start life all over again. This filthy and funny show explores what it means to be a lesbian, to lose yourself and find yourself again, all set against the backdrop of turning 30.
