Been So Long

by Ché Walker

Che Walker and Arthur Darvill's neon-soaked, soul-fuelled new musical arrives to smarten up London…Yvonne and Simone are cruising for action. Raymond stole Gil's girl and now Gil wants to slice him up. Barney is just after a quiet life. When all five collide in a seedy London bar, their desires ignite in a guttural blast of cusses, laughs and unexpected romance. Love looks set to finally conquer the two people who swore they could live without it. But how will they know it's for real?

Reviews

[Victoria Lucas · Rating 5 out of 5]

The dialogue of this play is impeccable, it’s naturalistic, raw, funny, raucous and yearning all at the same time. Incredible.

[Aaron Thomas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Standard New Brutalist fare in the vein of Rebecca Prichard and Judy Upton. This one has some great characters, but the structure is off. Reads like a first play.
