HOME TIME | DRAYTON ARMS | LONDON
A meditation on motherhood, Hendon’s writing is first class in this surprising, shocking and heart wrenching monologue, brought to life theatrically by director Paula Chitty and actress, Elizabeth George. A finalist at The Kenneth Branagh Award in 2017 where it was hailed a triumph Sardines Magazine – A Triumph, someone sat behind me and said we should have stood to applaud and I agree. It’s impossible to untangle the roles of writer, director and actor in achieving the outcome but that’s what great theatre is all about, the structure is overlaid with beautiful dialogue. **** The Review Hub – The evening’s most horrific story comes with an almighty emotional punch that carefully side steps the sentimental and explores the effect of a shock tragedy on a single mother. **** Younger Theatre – A tale of love and loss and all that comes with it. **** Theatre box – A Harrowing piece about motherhood, shock, grief, mundane joys, degradation and celebrations that motherhood entails

THE WEDDING SPEECH 1st /2nd March 2023 Soho Theatre. London
Through skilful use of the space, we are truly transported to the events of the night. The set design by Paula Chitty is simple yet effective in that its realism brings recognisability, at first glance, and, gradually, becomes a source of ridiculousness and humour, as the irregular use of regular props starts to introduce the exaggerated nature of the play
Rosemary is about to do a speech at her mother’s wedding. She’s not quite sure how to hit the right note as the relationship between Rosemary and her mother has been... less than rosy

Paul Westwood made his play debut last year. It received great reviews. Three estranged siblings, living on the edges of society and surviving addiction and abuse meet to sell their father's council flat to pay for his care home...but what unfolds is something more terrifying..... 'A riveting and gritty drama that also turns out to be a thriller with a uniquely clever plot, great writing.' Act drop ★★★★★ Tense, ominous, and hard hitting … a must see for anyone who loves a thriller’ London Pub Theatres ★★★★ Looking on from the edges of the fringe theatre's upstairs room is like stumbling across something grim in the attic but being too gripped to make a dash for it' London Theatre 1 ★★★★
