We don’t often do last nights of runs, but, ahead of spending several weeks on our travels, we booked the only night of this run that we could do.
This was a good four-hander of a play with a reliable Orange Tree cast.
Kate Bassett in the Telegraph liked it, in similar “good but not great” terms as we might have used:

Nick Curtis in The Standard, on the other hand, hated it:
Hurting Curtis Standard 13 Mar 2000, Mon Evening Standard (London, Greater London, England) Newspapers.com
Paul Taylor in The Independent gets the casting vote – he liked it a lot:

Where was Michael Billington, who was a regular Orange Tree reviewer back then, that’s what I want to know? And where did Janie and I eat? That second question is easier – for sure we’d have eaten at Don Fernando’s back then.
