No - YOU'RE CRYING! 😭😭πŸ₯° Today is a very special day indeed. Today is what it's all about. ✍🏾 Today is the first time a SCHOOL will perform 'Princess Essex' for their school show! πŸ’›πŸ–οΈπŸ‘ΈπŸΎ It feels like a handing over of the baton. It's what the final scene of the play was always about. @southhampstead_drama Are going to absolutely smash it! I know they are! Break a leg this week to all those on stage, off and to all the staff! All of us at #PrincessEssex HQ, couldn't be prouder, and I have a feeling Princess Dinubolu would feel much the same. 🧑 @the_globe @thehaworthagency @thebwhagency @nickhernbooks @robinbelfield @priyapatelappleby @ellenhartleyvoice @bethan_fights @sedickensonstories @ingridmackinnon @simonslatermusic @hayleygrindle @isobelpellow @beckyaustin1981 @daniwhitfield13 @kit.fowler @farranttheatre @julesgreen98 @ashleighroses @ciaralkbaron @elliejames2203 @booparis @francescashoots @jcjcummins @jamieroseam @yasminhtaheri @alisonhalsteadofficial @lizziehopley @tyrekeleslie @simonstartin @matthewashforde @jamieroseam @eloisejsecker @nigelbarrettandlouisemari @sophie_mercell_fagon #SyakiraMoeladi @dreamwithjanai @shanieriley
