To kick off 2024, and what seems like a year of non-stop elections…USA Presidential elections, General Election here in the UK as well as a Russian Election (if you can actually call it that)...less of that, the better, I watched 1979 at the Finborough Theatre.

166 - Cottage
Cottage is a gripping comic drama that has so many themes bubbling underneath the facade of two men meeting up in a public toilet.
