THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE by David Kerby-Kendall, 7.30pm, Monday 21 July Upstairs@North London Tavern

​The play is a two-hander concerning Michael - in his early 20s and in middle age - and his battle with, and attempts to explain, depression. At both ages, he recalls the pivotal moments and people that have influenced his life. Both actors play the entire cast of characters: from Jennifer, the outrageous girlfriend who becomes the soulless wife, to Danny, his soulmate and first love. Despite the seriousness of the subject, it is also a celebration of life, and we are taken on a journey with Michael as he fights the disease he refers to as 'The Shadow'...
