Janie and I both really really liked this play/production.
In many ways not the sort of play we normally like. It was quite long and very broad in its sweep – spanning continents and decades.
But it was such a good play and so well done.
Fine cast; not least Claudia Blakley (who we think of as an Orange Tree regular), Stephen Campbell Moore (who I got to know quite well shortly afterwards at BodyWorksWest) and Benedict Wong (who we’ll forever think of as Ai Weiwei – or at least Janie will).
We liked Lucy Kirkwood’s previous play, NSFW...we loved Chimerica.

It subsequently transferred (pretty much intact, I believe) to the Harold Pinter that autumn.
Below is the trailer vid:
It got rave reviews, deservedly – click here for a search term that finds them.
London theatre at its very best.
