Photo Flash: Inside Rehearsal For I AND YOU at Hampstead Theatre

'Did my mother set this up? She would totally do this - make something up just to make me feel involved. I have a life, ok: I text. A lot.'

Hampstead Theatre presents the UK premiere of Lauren Gunderson's I and You, which was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams will make her stage debut as Caroline and be directed by Artistic Director Edward Hall in this play about friendship, adolescent innocence and living life to the full.

Housebound because of illness, Caroline hasn't been to school in months. Confined to her room, she has only Instagram and Facebook for company. That is until classmate Anthony bursts in - uninvited and armed with waffle fries, a scruffy copy of Walt Whitman's poetry and a school project due in the next day... Caroline is unimpressed all round. But an unlikely friendship develops, and a seemingly mundane piece of homework starts to reveal the pair's hopes and dreams - as well as a deep and mysterious bond that connects them even further.
