Papi, how was it when Rhian came to you and said that they'd had a dream about you being in prison?

Rhian, you spoke to me the other day about not having to give the audience a sense of a conclusion or happy ending. I read the positivity, instead, throughout, in that connection between the characters. That will always be imperfect where human beings are involved. In the show, this was beautifully underpinned by physical theatre. Rhian: That was something that we did consciously examine; how to merge the stories together without there being "sides". We wrote this into the script, thinking about what would happen if they [Ailish and Marcus] did start to reflect on the "severity" of their story. But the more we worked on the characters, the more love we found between them. It was a nice throughline that they have this growing fondness for each other. That platonic relationship. That bond.

Richard first printed the T-shirts six years ago and was pictured wearing it with DJ Swiss from So Solid Crew. In an interview with London-Irish publication the Irish Post, O’Gorman said that he’d initially made a t-shirt with that message a few years ago, but only this year did he decide to really go with the idea.

I hadn't seen them in a year. [To Rhian] I was going to text you to see what's up! To see if we could do some more stuff. Rhian: I left Northern Ireland as a queer person with mental health issues. I came to the UK, and it felt really safe. People seemed more confident about talking about things, where Ireland [had] felt repressed. Here, people took me seriously. I've always been into poetry and spoken word... since I was three. As I came to terms with my sexuality, I became more comfortable and I realised what happened to me in my past wasn't normal. Being put into hospital when you're seventeen is not normal. It's gentility, love, friendship, good, old-fashioned storytelling, and physical theatre that carry you through their tales. Rosie Bowden's direction expertly contains the multi-faceted staging, which is simple in terms of the set, yet complicated in physical movement and the staging of the intricacies of the script. Physical theatre elevates the already gorgeous writing within the show.The piece from SoreSlap Theatre will run at the Newcastle upon Tyne venue from 15 November – 3 December 2022. But since these new pictures have emerged, T-shirts have been sold in Ireland, the UK, South Africa, Tokyo, New Zealand and Australia. How have you both found practicing your art in Newcastle? Especially Papi, as a Global Majority artist? Have you found you have both had to make space for yourself through SoreSlap? We liked this idea, thinking about whether we are really guilty, or if the world makes people do things to make them guilty. Or, are we our behaviour? Are we our actions? Seen modelling their own t-shirts, this couple were spotted walking through Brixton Village/Granville Arcade yesterday.
