Janie and I had loved The Day I Stood Still…
…so thoroughly expected to enjoy Kevin Elyot’s next play, Mouth To Mouth, which indeed we did. Not quite to the same extent as The Day I Stood Still – Mouth to Mouth was quite dark – but still we liked it a lot. Fine acting and thought provoking writing.
Here is the Theatricalia entry. Michael Maloney, Lindsay Duncan, Adam Godley, Peter Wight, Andrew McKay, Lucy Whybrow and Barnaby Kay, directed by Ian Rickson. What’s not to like?
Charles Spencer in The Telegraph loved it.

Paul Taylor in The Indy was more measured, sensing that Kevin Elyot constantly returns to the same themes…but does so very well!
