So we saw a young Ben Whishaw as far back as 2009 in this thing – who knew?
Mike Bartlett has also gone on to bigger and bolder pieces than this since.
I seem to recall that it was a fairly slight piece about someone who is confused about his sexuality; I think the modern term is “fluid”.
The Royal Court link is very slight for an archive of this age – click here.
- My memory seems to concur with Michael Billington’s Guardian review – full of praise for the performances but not such a strong play;
- Charles Spencer in The Telegraph similarly;
- Paul Taylor in The Independent loved it, play, production, the lot;
- Philip Fisher in British Theatre Guide really liked it too;
- As did Sarah Hemming in the FT.
As usual, high quality production and performances upstairs at the Royal; Court – we love that place.
