The Theatre Reviewer

Ahead of Who Do They Think They Are, I caught up with Liz Tait to talk about the themes at the heart of the production, the creative journey behind it, and what audiences can look forward to when the lights go up. What first sparked the idea for Who Do They Think They Are? I had the idea for this play when I went, somewhat reluctantly,  to a hen do some years ago.  It was one of those situations where I already knew  I wasn’t going to know anyone and was about 20 years older

It’s a story about friendship, power and surviving Harvey Weinstein’s heliocentric hell. The play is a deeply personal story inspired by the #metoo movement and draws from Rose's own experience of working as an assistant at Miramax and actress in the 90’s. Nearly thirty years later, in the wake of recent allegations about - Justin Baldoni, Russell Brand, Sean Combs, Gino D'Acampo, Noel Clarke, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Giovanni Pernice, Kevin Spacey, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Set inside what feels like a smoky New York studio, MILES.  brilliantly explores what it takes to create something truly great—and what it costs you along the way. Contemporary jazz musician Jay  wrestles with his creative demons and identity while the ghost of Miles Davis looms large over every chord and conversation. It’s part musical meditation, part time-hopping drama, and definitely big on atmosphere. 📸 Colin J Smith Oliver Kaderbhai’s direction is confident and assured
