★★★★★ FIVE STARS for We Started To Sing from West End Best Friend
Directed and written by Barney Norris, We Started to Sing is a different take on family life. Instead of embellishing the story with romances and happy endings, Norris tells it as it is. Just like in everyone’s family, there are disagreements, regrets, laughter and tears, which is what make the play truly special.
The audience make connections with the characters, especially Bert and Peggy, then draw on their own experiences and how they may have been in similar situations. The honesty behind the script creates a piece of art that represents numerous families around the world. We Started to Sing is a perfect reopening for the Arcola Theatre and shines light on the reality of family life.
It’s brutally beautiful.
