We had been big fans of the Donmar for some while; sometimes bemoaning the awkwardness of the place for parking/transport but on balance feeling that it was worth it.
Serenading Louie was one of a few less impressive productions that started to put us off the place.
Here is a link to the excellent Study Guide resource which Donmar has now made downloadable.
Of course it was well acted and well produced at the Donmar. But what a dud of a play. Why revive such a dull American play from the 1970s?
I think we stuck it out to the bitter end; I vaguely recall feeling that the second half was a mite better than the first half.
It didn’t get good reviews. This search term should find you plenty of reviews and stuff if you remain curious about it.
No doubt we supped on May’s Chinese food or Mohsen’s Persian. No doubt our moods needed lifting after a disappointing visit to the theatre.
