Theatre review: WAY, fortyfivedownstairs

A one-person show that skilfully covers a societal issue with empathy and compassion.

Two white men dressed in Victorian era garb sit on a stage, either side of a large theatrical costumes/props basket with a decanter on the top of it. One man is draped in a blanket and clutches a glass looking worriedly at the older grey haired man, who also looks concerned but off downstage right, clasping his hands in his lap.
