Everything about the performance was incredible. The simple stage design was visually stunning without distracting from the beautiful performance by <a href="https://aakashodedra.com">Aakash Odedra</a>.</p> <p>This was our first visit to Sadler&rsquo;s Wells East and, despite it being the other side of town we know we&rsquo;ll be back. A well designed, modern theatre, without the rigidity and formality that I often feel with in some of the more traditional venues in London.</p>
