You, Me and the World (or: Do People Make Love In The Same Way They Dance? (And Other Mysteries))
a shining gem of a show
Unique, builds a connection with the audience which is enthralling...
an intimacy which is closer than any other fringe show
Andy Smith, A Younger Theatre

How—in a system of nanoscopic subparticles; in a world of seven billion people; in a universe 14 trillion light-years wide—does anyone ever find love? And yet, as you and your neighbour ponder dancing and shagging, there’s some small chance you’ll do just that. Loveable.
Entertaining.

Devised and performed by Olly Hawes
Design Emily Harwood
Producer Rosie Scudder
with thanks to Polly Bennett, Nick Cassenbaum, Matthew Evans, Mariah Gale, David Harradine and the countless other people and organisations that supported the making of the project.
An only-at-the-fringe emotional rollercoaster that provides a fascinating insight into the lives of others.

To call it a simply a show does not do it credit, it is an exploration. An exploration of love, of intimacy and of connection. Genius.
I must insist you go and partake.
