We are very keen on Neil LaBute plays and the Almeida has (or had) made a bit of a specialism in them over the years.
While not quite his razor-sharp best, we thought this was a very good play and production.
Here is a link to the Almeida resource on this play/production.
The acting was excellent – all four performances top notch.
It was very well received by the critics on the whole – click here for a link through to the reviews.
Below is the trailer for the production we saw:
I remember us both really dreading the shlep to the Almeida just before Christmas and then both being so glad that we went.
We subsequently (four/five years later) saw a companion piece for it at the Hampstead, Reasons To Be Happy…
Reasons To Be Happy by Neil Labute, Hampstead Theatre, 8 April 2016
…which we didn’t think was anything like as good.
