All of It – 21st November 7.30pm
By Alistair McDowall with Maria Crocker. A rehearsed reading of this celebrated Royal Court play
A whole life in one breath. A woman stands alone on stage and verbalises her whole life in 40 frantic minutes. Capturing the highs, lows and banality of life this monologue reveals the essence of what it is to be alive.
“All of It – first seen in 2020 – is genius. A journey from birth to void, McDowall brilliantly captures how febrile consciousness scribbles around our spoken half-truths (mostly, “it’s fine”).” The Guardian
