Emma was living life to the full, until she wasn’t. Now she’s in rehab, and the first step to recovery is admitting she has a problem. But what if the problem isn’t with Emma, but with everything else around her? When intoxication feels like the only way to survive in the modern world, is sobriety an option?Duncan Macmillan (Lungs; 1984) and director Jeremy Herrin’s (Best of Enemies) People, Places and Things is one of the most acclaimed plays of the 21st century. It debuted at the National Theatre in 2015 and swiftly transferred for its first West End season. A run in New York and a UK tour followed, and now it is audiences’ second chance to catch this vivid tale of acting, addiction and the blurred lines of performance in London.

Gough has since appeared in Star Wars spin-off Andor and the National Theatre’s huge revival of Angels in America, but it is her fearless turn in Macmillan’s play that marks her as one of the greatest modern actresses to see on stage.Don’t Miss People Places and Things Tickets at Trafalgar Theatre
