It was the beginning of my love of theatre

In April this year I took my sister and brother in law to see Sive. It was the very first play I saw – aged 13 – and had a huge impact on me. It was the beginning of my love of theatre. My sister and brother in law are not theatre goers but were curious about what I loved about Sive. I will never forget how enthralled my brother in law was and how at the end he was in tears – he had expected a happy ending! He now wants me to recommend plays for him to see.
