A rare visit to the theatre by me and Janie on a Monday evening. We had chosen to take a week off work; partly for culture and partly, in Janie’s case, I think to spend time with Phillie and her medical stuff. We had little opportunity to go away properly around that time, so it made sense to take a bit of time.
But this play/production was a waste of time for us.
It was doing very little for us, so we left at half time to enjoy a longer session over a super meal at Grano.
One of Vicky Featherstone’s earlier efforts at directing.
Nicholas de Jongh did not rate it highly:

Grano Restaurant in Chiswick was something special. New in 1998, award-winning “best Italian Restaurant in London” in 1999. We had a super meal there. Sadly, now gone.
