After a hat trick of theatre visiting evenings during a short break period at the end of October…
…nada for a couple of weeks. We went to Kim & Mickey for dinner on Saturday 30 October, but then seemed to lie low socially and culturally for a fortnight. Janie’s diary suggests that she was working full pelt. Mine suggests that I was on a major report writing deadline or two, as I saw few clients and blocked out several half days and whole days for writing.
Then we went to the Donmar Warehouse to see this beauty of a play/production, which we both rated as:
Very good.
Great cast: Colin Firth, Elizabeth McGovern & David Morrissey. Directed by Robin Lefevre.
It had enjoyed a short run at the Donmar earlier in the year; we caught its autumn return. Janie booked it, so her diary reports that we sat in seats A24 & A25 and that she parted company with £48 in total. Thems was the days!
Nicholas de Jongh in The Standard shared our liking for this play/production:
