familiar!

Went to see 'The Vegemite Tales' on Monday night - it's a play about a group of Australian flatmates living in London. It's been playing for a couple of years in fringe theatre in Hammersmith but has transferred to the West End for a short time. It was all very familiar and well observed, including the set design (including a travel library, photos all over the walls and fairy lights) and the jobs the flatmates were in. There were some bits that were a bit crude and childish but there were also some scenes that were very affecting - I think the whole audience had all had the "I want my Mum!" moment.
