Almeida Theatre
Almeida St, The Angel, London N1 1TA, United Kingdom London

How would you feel if, 15 years after you last saw them, you bumped into the one person who had the biggest influence on your life?

On a dusky evening, old friends Richard and Julie find their primary school headmistress lying on a park bench in the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral. 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.
