The last two performances of Expendable today at the Royal Court. We’ve all been delighted by the reaction to the play, some phenomenal work went into its creation & it has been an honour to direct it, working with an astonishingly talented cast & team. All power to Emteaz Hussain & David Byrne 💫❤️
