An ETT/Young Vic production 'BEEN SO LONG'
Book & lyrics Che Walker, music & lyrics Arthur Darvill

Romance, revenge and rare groove rage in this neon-soaked musical comedy. 

The talent on stage is tremendous… It's there, too in the big lift of Arthur Darvill's music, running from soul to jazz. It's also in Ché Walker's script: he tells his story – of three men and two women meeting, fighting, getting off with each other and failing to get off with each other in a bar which is about to close down – in a mix of raunchy and rococo, of the fancy and the fierce. 

Here's an evening in which women get a real shout.
The Observer
