This Is Living is a funny, emotional and very clever production with a simple but effective set and strong cast.

The play jumps around, sometimes causing it to feel overly complex and confusing, but dazzling performances by King and Sieh keep the audience entertained.

A solid performance from all cast members, but the final 30 minutes were very slow and drawn out.

A fantastic, poignant portrayal of the AIDS crisis and those it affected. It is brilliantly written, incredibly deep and takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions.

A strong group of actors, fantastic medley of light, sound, video and the set itself make for an intriguing and unforgettable experience.

An enjoyable production with a great cast and realistic backdrop.

For a great laugh and exemplary ensemble work, don’t miss it!

A powerful piece, emphasising how literature can be used to transport us from even the direst of situations and how relationships can be formed in the most unexpected of places.
