Many people in the audience cried, laughed and stayed after the show to thank the director and cast for their touching piece. Their productions are buzzing with energy, originality and are guaranteed to emotionally involve their audiences. I am excited to see what Next Door But One present as their next production because, based on this play and their previous work, future events are destined to be fantastic.
