Janie and I had been most impressed by Zinnie Harris’s Further Than the Furthest Thing the previous year…
…so made a bee-line for Zinnie Harris’s next play – this time at the Royal Court.
The subject matter of Nightingale and Chase – a woman being released from prison, was very interesting. I’m not sure this one quite worked as theatre, though.
Mark Cook gave it a short plug in the Guardian:

Jasper Rees, meanwhile, wrote an interesting piece about Zinnie and both plays:

Zinnie explained all of this in her won words in the Guardian:

Not many actual reviews, but you can trust our friend Michael Billington to give such a production the full works and to remind me why we wanted to like this one more than we actually did:
