Nearly ten years since it swept Theatreland, hit play People Places and Things is back on the West End. The cast is all new, except for star of the show, Denise Gough. She plays Emma, a struggling actor who checks herself into a rehab clinic for alcohol and drug addiction.
At the show’s opening night, Gough spoke to the Londoner about what’s changed since the 2015 production. “I think that the language and the dialogue around addiction is deeper, and there is a new generation of younger people who are so much more open to the conversation,” she said.
