It seemed like only a week since we last went to Harry’s and then The Hampstead…
…but this one did less for us.
I seem to recall finding the whole evening a bit irritating and we really didn’t like this play.
It’s had great reviews so don’t take our word for it.
Emilia Fox doesn’t do much for us and the play seemed very laboured and obvious in places.
The Hampstead resource on the play/production can be found here.
By gosh, we seemed to be specialising in previews of Nazi stuff that month, having been to see Speer at the Almeida a couple of weeks earlier:
My log comment for Good was less complimentary than that for Speer:
Didn’t quite do the business for us.
Great cast, with Charles Dance, Emelia Fox, Ian Gelder, John Ramm and several other stalwarts under the direction of Michael Grandage.
It might not have done the business for us, but it sure did for Nicholas de Jongh in The Standard:

Charles Spencer in The Telegraph shared our sentiments:

Anthony Holden in teh Observer also seemed equivocal in his praise:

We ate at Zafferano after Good. Zaffs was very good indeed.
