★★★★★ The Upcoming
★ ★ ★ ★ London Theatre 1
"Dyu wanna come back to mine?"
A new comedy about what Patti and Robert say to each other when the lights are off and no one else is listening. After the swiping, the drinking, the small talk and the big talk. After the bedroom door is closed. This is intimacy - without the gory bits - and you get to have a look.

Undisputed genius, visionary and artist with which no lover could compete, yet without whose love he could not live.
Picasso, lived and loved like no other… His obsession reflected in his art, but equally destroyed his subjects…
