However, at times the technical side worked to the detriment of the hard-working students. Odd soundscapes, very loud music and unnecessary lighting changes all over-complicate what could have been a beautifully formed, minimal piece of theatre. The whole cast own their space outstandingly and embrace the acting challenge of performing the complex themes of this narrative brilliantly. Some standout performances include Misha Kaminskiy as Tight, and Dylan Grisby as David McPhee. Misha proved himself as a grounded, strong actor and Dylan owned his role with brilliant comic talent – two young actors to keep your eyes on! In contrast to the complex emotions portrayed, there is also a comedic element with some larger-than-life caricatures of Tom’s family, and also some lively live music, plus creative scenery which will include a graffiti wall.

In August 2021, Thorne delivered the Edinburgh TV Festival's prestigious MacTaggart Lecture. [53] He used the speech to discuss television's power as an "empathy box" in the living room of millions and its failings for neglecting a large and vibrant part of the populace by poorly representing the disabled community. Thorne points to the great suffering of disabled people during the COVID-19 pandemic in which the media rendered huge amounts of unnecessary deaths acceptable through usage of the term "underlying health condition". [53] The speech also outlined how television industry practice has been discriminatory towards disabled artists, and the dire need for the industry to commit to change, both off-screen and on; alongside Genevieve Barr and Katie Player, Thorne announced a pressure group called Underlying Health Condition which aims to elevate disabled voices in the industry. Thorne argues that more disabled stories written by disabled people and performed by disabled people would make visible what's invisible in the "empathy box" in the homes of the public and cause change to happen. Tom's brother Luke is dead. This has upset a lot of people but it hasn't upset Tom. Or, rather, it has upset him, but in ways he can't explain and other people can't understand. You see, Tom and Luke were never friends. In fact, Tom didn't really like Luke at all. Among the hundreds of people who witnessed the production was the Wilde family, whose son, Joseph, is joining King’s Ely as a Year 9 Drama Scholar in September 2023.

The lyrics are given to us but the music isn’t. So I have cast some brilliantly talented people from our youth company who can not only act but can play instruments and they have taken on board the whole musicality of it. So we have actor-musicians on stage. We’ve got guitars, flutes, saxophone – and they have gone away and written the music so they have a real ownership over it which I think they really appreciate.”J. J.

So it's an odd decision - to try and bury Luke in the pavement of the Tunstall Estate where he was killed. But to Tom, it sort of makes sense, in a stupid-weird kind of way. As he sleeps out on the pavement, he comes across planning officials, tramps, undertakers, police officers, sisters, mothers, estate agents, ghosts, pavement elephants, sky dragons and a strange lad called Tight who wants to sell him a Travelcard.The Solid Life of Sugar Water | National Theatre | South Bank, London".
