Icecream by Caryl Churchill, Royal Court Theatre, 13 May 1989

I don’t remember all that much about this one, which probably means that I found it somewhat impenetrable, as is sometimes the case with Caryl Churchill plays.

The Royal Court has a tiny stub on-line for this production.

Super cast with Saskia Reeves and David Thewlis. Max Stafford-Clark directed it.

Here is the Theatricalia entry.

I have the play text, so perhaps I should have a read to refresh my memory about this play/production. Or perhaps Bobbie can help.

Postscript

I have now reverted to the text and it sort-of comes back to me. The diary also tells me that we sat in seats D9 & D10 and that they were £10 tickets that Saturday. Good value, I suppose.
