A very powerful play this – a two hander set in a Latin American jail – one prisoner is a political prisoner, the other is in jail for homosexuality.
Very well acted by Will Kean and Rupert Evans in a high-quality Donmar production.
The critics suggested a lack of intimacy and power to this production, but it did the business for us as I recall it.

One of those resources is an excellent Donmar “Behind The Scenes/Study Guide” – which I have also scraped to here so you can for sure see it even if the Donmar moves it or closes down!
A rare (perhaps unique) visit to the Donmar Warehouse on a Friday, perhaps because we had arranged to see John and Mandy on the Saturday. I don’t think we quite rated this play as powerful as Death And the Maiden, which we had seen with John and Mandy years earlier…
…but it had echoes of that play with the South American style and the human rights abuses.
