Janie and I thought this one was
Very good.
We saw a preview – the first Saturday.
Excellent cast, led by Ron Cook. We loved Closer, so were keen to see more Patrick Marber, who directed this one himself (not always the best idea…) Here is a link to the Theatricalia entry.
Nicholas de Jongh did not like it, awarding the production the dreaded blob:

Paul Taylor in The Independent, on the other hand, really liked it:

Our friend Michael Billington steers closer to de Jongh, liking the performance more than the play:

Just as well we thought it was very good, then.
