OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

  • Synopsis

    Early one morning on Putney Bridge, three strangers’ lives collided for one fleeting second. Inspired by real events, the play weaves a tale about human triumph and frailty, about the power of destiny and chance, and why sometimes we choose to hate, and other times we choose to dance.
