We described this as:
Very, very good…
…in my log and I do remember this play/production well.
I hadn’t especially been looking forward to it. I do like generally Potter’s work but I wasn’t sure about his take on this subject. Janie having the hots for Joseph Fiennes pretty much sealed the deal for us to book it.
It was a superb production. Joseph Fiennes is a very good actor, the supporting cast was excellent and Bill Bryden directed well. The Theatricalia entry for this one can be found here.
Michael Billington loved it:

Michael Coveney was less sure, talking up Joseph Fiennes but not the play:
