Alice on Max:
What were you hoping for?
An evening of good company, and a way of meeting someone new outside my normal social circle that enjoys the theatre and the arts.
First impressions?
Max was approachable, friendly and made me feel at ease.
What did you drink in The Cut Bar and was it a good place for pre-theatre mingling?
A G & T to calm my blind date nerves. The bar had a nice buzz about it and a relaxed atmosphere for a date.
What did you talk about before the show?
His job, which is fascinating, where we grew up and that someone he went to LAMDA with was in the play (a small world).
My job, and how I (try to) balance my social life and theatre/gig going schedule.
Pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones.
Any awkward moments?
I was 5 minutes late due to a Citymapper fail (map reading is not my strong point). Sorry!
Oh and we almost forgot to take the selfie.
Describe him in 3 words.
Intriguing, smiley, a gentleman.
What did you think of #YVDream and was it a good date night play?
I'd thoroughly recommend it as a date night play, the humour and muddy mayhem worked well.

Would you meet again? (Romantically/as friends/as theatre companions)
As theatre companions, we had lots to talk about and he'd been to some interesting productions I haven't seen yet.
Max on Alice:
What were you hoping for?
Love! Crazy love!
First impressions?
Very good.
What did you drink in The Cut Bar and was it a good place for pre-theatre mingling?
Tonic water, great place to meet- atmosphere, music, lively people, good vibe.
What did you talk about before the show?
Our interests/work and theatre/shows we'd seen before.
Any awkward moments?
I don't feel awkwardness on dates, it's a waste of time.
Describe her in 3 words.
Articulate, pretty, chilled.
What did you think of #YVDream and was it a good date night play?
Very good date night play- for Shakespeare fans, which we were.
