You can’t literally conceive of it happening to you. And then it does. It does happen to you. And nothing prepares you for how fierce it is.
Written by Stuart Slade
Directed by Jon Fentiman
This production takes place in the Dance Studio, Loughton Campus
'The play I have chosen to direct is BU21 by Stuart Slade, which follows the journey of six people in the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack on London.
In equal measure, BU21 is brutal, heartbreaking and hilarious in its depiction of how people deal with and manage sudden trauma.'
