Evan Placey and I have history. I last interviewed him for Ink Pellet six years ago in a chain coffee shop in Catford. Just for old times’ sake we’ve met in the same venue today. And of course, a lot of water has flowed under both our bridges since 2016.
Take a version of which was commissioned from Evan by National Youth Theatre for its Rep Company in 2017. I saw and reviewed the production then and remember it as century blogger is using the story of Harriet Jekyll to kick against the extant patriarchal traces. I said at the time that I was sure the play would have a life beyond its debut production and now it has been taken up by National Theatre for its spring tour to secondary schools.
