“Us & Everything We Own takes a significant turn fairly early and becomes a discussion about ambition: who has it, who doesn’t and what does class have to do with it?”
- Jo Ledingham
“I think twenty-somethings are worried about how they will ever be able to afford to buy a home while they struggle to find decent employment, and this play captures that anxiety very well through well-rounded characters and an engaging plot.”
