Double Feature 2: Nightwatchman and There Is A War @ National Theatre
The Paintframe at National Theatre is taken over by writers who are new to NT. In Nightwatchman by Prasanna Puwanarajah, a professional cricket player of Sri Lankan heritage spends the night before her debut for England going over what it will mean to play against Sri Lanka. In Tom Basden's There Is A War, a civil war rage on but a young medical officer struggles to find the injured.

2401 Objects @ Jackson's Lane Theatre
One of my favourite theatre companies has created a show inspired by Henry Molaison, a patient who provided some of the most significant neuroscientist data to date and had his brain dissected while the public watched. Their story follows an unforgettable man who struggles to remember.
