Zero Down – Theatre 503
In my general theatre going habit I must admit I am fairly adverse to ‘State of the Nation’ plays. I normally go to the theatre hoping to escape from the world of tube strikes, high rents and gum stuck to the underside of your shoe and enjoy whirlwind romances and highly choreographed dance routines.
