Tales From Hollywood by Christopher Hampton, Donmar Warehouse, 21 April 2001

We saw a preview of this production, which I gave a one word review in my log:

Excellent.

It was memorably good.

Charles Spencer in The Telegraph clearly liked it a lot:

Nicholas de Jongh in The Standard also reviewed it positively:

Our friend Michael Billington was with us (opinion-wise) on this one too:

Five Kinds Of Silence by Shelagh Stephenson, Lyric Hammersmith, 24 June 2000

No comment on this one in my log. Not necessarily a bad thing but also not necessarily a good thing.

Fabulous cast – including Tim Pigott-Smith, Lizzy McInnerny, Gina McKee & Linda Bassett. Ian Brown directed. But in truth I remember little about this one – even after looking at some of the reviews.

Paul Taylor was impressed:

Michael Billington was less impressed:

Nicholas de Jongh was also somewhat underwhelmed by the play:

Janie and I went to a gastro pub restaurant, The Chiswick, afterwards.
