Performance review: Seen & Heard, Trades Hall

Funny, touching, thoughtful and with glitter – what more could you want!

Two panels. On left is Sally Rooney, who has shoulder-length brown hair, a grey top and black trousers. On the right is the cover of her book, 'Intermezzo' in shades of blue and black. A small figure of a man is seen between the larger, up-close legs of another figure. There is a chess piece on the right hand corner.
