Whispers Along The Patio by David Cregan, Orange Tree Theatre, 20 October 2001

Frankly, we remember little about this one. A gentle comedy, is the description. We might have been gently getting over the terminal dullness of our preceding evening’s visit to The National to see Luther.

Here’s a clip from The Gazette & Herald from August, when it opened in Scarborough:

Similar messaging in The Epsom Herald a couple of months later:

Ah, there was a formal review in the Guardian, from Scarborough:

This clearly wasn’t the very best week of theatre we have ever encountered.
