All We Ever Wanted Was Everything

About

Presented by Middle Child in association with the Bush Theatre

Meet Leah and Chris; raised on Harry Potter, New Labour and a belief that one day they would be as ‘special’ as their parents promised.

But what happens when those dreams don’t become reality?

Set across three decades, from 1997’s Cool Britannia to today’s Brexit Britain, this multi-award winning gig theatre mixes original live music from James Frewer with bold new writing by Luke Barnes.

It’s a story about the world we inherited and the one we’re leaving behind. It’s the story of a million beating hearts. And an asteroid with other plans.

“This is theatre as Hadron Collider experiment: a slamming-together of a play and a gig.”
The Telegraph ★★★★

“Middle Child really smash it with a superb piece of gig theatre…combines music and storytelling in an outrageously entertaining fashion”
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

“Glorious…a raucous, riotous 75 minutes of storytelling”
The Stage ★★★★

“Heart-wrenching and heart-warming all at once”
Broadway Baby ★★★★★
