Spoonface Steinberg by Lee Hall, New Ambassadors Theatre, 22 January 2000

I didn’t make any notes in my log about this one. I don’t think we were overly impressed with it, but neither did we think it quite as awful as some of the critics. Still, I’d better let the critics do the job for me with this one, given that i wrote nothing.

Here is a link to the Theatricalia entry for this one. Kathryn Hunter was the big name for this one person show.

Charles Spencer in The Telegraph absolutely hated it:

On the other hand, Nicholas de Jongh in the Standard spoke mostly very highly of it:

Susannah Clapp in The Observer didn’t like it much:
