    A swinging sixties story of unconditional love from the UK’s leading full mask theatre company.

    It’s 1966. The record player is on, her hair is bobbed and eyelashes curled: for seventeen year old Susan, life is an adventure waiting to begin. But what happens next turns everything upside down, and its repercussions will last for decades to come.

    Step into the wordless world of Vamos Theatre for this bittersweet story of mistaken morals and broken hearts, 45s and beehives, where sexual revolution proves a hard and rocky path to tread.

    Funny, heartbreaking and human, The Best Thing is the latest touring production from one of the country’s mustsee theatre companies, who have previously illuminated our Factory Theatre with Nursing Lives, Finding Joy and Much Ado About Wenlock. It’s lovely to have them back.

    This production is equally accessible to hearing and deaf audiences.
