Eight

A selection of eight stories are impressively told here in monologue rotation. Among them are grieving art gallery owner Andre, struggling single mum Bobby and Jude, a well-to-do lad coming of age on foreign shores. Ella Hickson’s characters are beautifully written and each of the actors weave compelling stories. Trimming back to allow the addition of an extra couple of voices would have afforded a heftier, more universal message.

Spaces on the Mile, 0845 508 8316, run ended 20 Aug, 3.10pm, £8 (£6).
