“Basically you get the chance to imagine that you’re whoever you want to be and your life is like however you want it to be and the world is still kind of the same except the difference is, is that you’re somebody else. Well not exactly somebody else because you’re still you but different because you’re able to have your life exactly how you want it. You get me?”
– Katie in Phil Davies’s Firebird at Trafalgar Studios
