(Picture: Johan Persson)You’re heading home from the office through Fenchurch Street, or may be Liverpool Street station and you grab a copy of the Standard before jumping on the train. Back to Romford, or Upminster, or maybe Southend or Basildon or one of the many other commuter towns that populate the fringes of east London and Essex.
You flick through and notice a theatre review. Some Shakespeare maybe, a musical, some people in 19th century frocks, or a couple in black tie in a light comedy. Or perhaps some arresting theatre on the edges of live art or installation, a new story from a bit of London or the world you hardly knew existed. It all looks glorious but, where are you?
