## It’s not often that a production has a complete cast who shine gloriously, each in their own way, but Chris Woodley’s *Next Lesson* is an exception.

**Directed by** **Andrew Beckett**, the show tackles a topic that could be labeled as overdone and predictable. However, the manner in which the show was executed made for a touching experience in a nostalgic manner.

All bar the talented and beautifully bummed **Sam Goodchild** playing the core character, the cast do a remarkable job interchanging roles and even more remarkably, outfits.

Although this makes for some difficulty following who is who as each scene changes, it is only a minor detail against the brilliant acting and script. Highly relatable for any gay Londoner who grew up in the late eighties to early nineties, and a swift reality check with how far we have to go as a community. A worthwhile production and big kudos to all!

**Next Lesson** is playing at Above The Stag Theatre until September 16.
