Stage Whispers
Read Full Review“Named in honour of ATYP alumni Rebel Wilson, the theatre, once attained, has a laid-back open stage, ideal for a show like this – lots of bits and pieces, lots of popping ideas, brilliant for making you feel part of the action. And the swanky first-night audience were certainly up for joining in.”
