S: We’ll just say… (shrugs)

Who are you sharing a flat with this festival and how will you help each other survive the month?

M: We’re sharing a wet patch under some stone steps.

S: With the rats.

Any shows you’re particularly excited about seeing?

S: Mike Atherton’s contemporary dance piece.

M: Sandi Toksvig in Grease.

S: American High school musical Theatre
