I love reading The Crush Bar every week but really treasuring this one which asks such good questions of the extraordinary @DavidMJTDoyle who does 19000 things but always starts from the play.

[Jermyn Street Theatre @JSTheatre]

"Jermyn Street Theatre was set up as a place where artists could afford to make work and audiences could afford to see it, and that is still what we are trying to do."

Read @DavidMJTDoyle's interview in @FergusMorgan's The Crush Bar chatting all things Jermyn Street Theatre.💥
