I finally got to see Dear Rita last night. Oh my goodness. I was so moved by it. Samantha Wilson and her team has done a stunning job. It’s evocative, funny, celebratory, heartbreaking, and expertly put together. I rarely get to just sit back and trust in the theatre. It creates a sense of calm over the audience immediately. We know we are in good hands.
