best wishes, kind regards
written and directed by Rhiannon Ella Tomes
Two people who refuse to say what they think. Two inner wolves who definitely will. Within the silences of what’s left unsaid, 'best wishes, kind regards' explores the slow, inevitable dissolution of a romantic relationship. Not through one dramatic rupture, but through accumulation. Small silences. Non-sentences. Deflections. The things we rehearse in our heads but never say aloud. At the centre are Him and Her. A couple who, from the outset, are doomed to separate. Not because they do not love one another, but because they cannot communicate what truly matters. Alongside them lurk His and Her Wolf; the thoughts, fears, desires and emotional truths that remain buried beneath everyday conversation. Blending text and movement, 'best wishes, kind regards' unfolds as a series of fragmented memories, capturing the way relationships are lived, remembered, and ultimately lost.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
