After seeing the amazing play/production The Herbal Bed the night before…
…we went to see this Richard Nelson play the next day. We liked this less, although we had enjoyed Richard Nelson’s plays before.
Good – but not quite to our taste
…was my log verdict.
Stellar cast – including several of the fine actors we had seen the day before, plus James Laurenson, Adam Godley, Corin Redgrave & John Woodvine. Howard Davies directed this one. Here is the Theatricalia entry.
My friend, Michael Billington, was not so sure about this one either:

Nicholas de Jongh in the Evening Standard was very keen on it:
