A moving, fearless and real performance piece, I hope Just a friend is developed into a full theatre piece, I can already visualise this being played out in the Royal Court Theatre.
“Introducing fast-rising London poets and Spoken Word artists Chozen and Sophia Thakur with their captivating new poetry piece titled “Just A Friend”.
Already a favourite among fans and audiences across London’s poetry scene for most of 2013, “Just A Friend” is brought further to life courtesy of these Nick FlyGuy-directed black and white visuals, inspired by the infamous counselling scene from the 2005 film, Mr & Mrs Smith.
