We worked with Pulitzer-nominated playwright, Will Eno, to adapt his stage monologue for the screen and created MR THEATRE COMES HOME DIFFERENT; raising funds for theatre freelancers in the UK.
Filmed over two days at the Lyric Hammersmith London, with twelve actors and a skeleton crew, the film celebrates everyone who works in theatre - onstage and off - who were unable to work during the pandemic.
