Director: Luca Silvestrini Reviewer: Lucy Jarvis The Public Reviews Rating: In a mad dash from person to person, the cast of Luca Silvestrini’s Protein (formerly Protein Dance) tackle love, loneliness and life online in LOL (Lots of Love).

Reviewer: Jonathan Grant The Public Reviews Rating: Simply staged, with roses adorning two tables, and a white backdrop, Eve Loiseau as Piaf evoked “ the Little Sparrow” with a delightful precision and clarity in an evening that paid homage to the French legend.
