Under the stone proscenium arch in the small theatre that is the Vaults and with only 3 wooden cubes as props, writer Christy Hall and  her husband, American film and television actor, Matt Lutz perform her new play, Yours, Isabel. It is inspired by letters written during the 1940s, and gives one woman’s perspective of WW2 while her soldier husband is overseas.
