Twilight Of The Golds by Jonathan Tolins, Arts Theatre, 5 July 1997

We rated this good, although I recall not really liking the Wagnerian idée fixe (or should I say leitmotif in the context of Wagner?) underlying this New York drama.

The cast comprised Jason Gould (fanfared as the son of Elliot Gould & Barbara Streisand), Gina Bellman, Mark Hadfield, Sheila Allen and Peter Laird. Theatricalia is not much help on this one.

Nicholas de Jongh in The Standard hated it:

Kate Bassett was no more impressed in The Telegraph:

Paul Taylor in The Indy was more generous towards the play & production:

We had dinner at Momo in Heddon Street afterwards. It was all the rage at that time, having just opened.

Here is Tracey Macleod’s The Independent review of Momo from a few week’s earlier.
