Two of the Featured Show campaigns I’ve been working on recently have been two world premieres, both featuring a lesbian relationship at their core: Tom Lodge‘s time-hopping two-hander Like You Hate Me, starring Acushla-Tara Kemp and Aimee Kember at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre; and Tabitha Mortiboy‘s The Amber Trap, starring Olivia Rose Smith and Fanta Barrie, at Theatre503.
Scroll down for my on-the-night reactions on visits to each.
