Our last show of the old millennium.
We rated the play/production “good”.
What was not to like? Maureen Lipman as Peggy Ramsey, with sound support from Tom Espiner, Selina Griffiths, Richard Platt and Crispin Redman, all ably directed by Robin Lefevre.
Here is a link to the Theatricalia entry for this play/production.
Yes, the show was a bit of a luvvy-fest but what else might you expect in the circumstances?
Susannah Clapp in The Observer preferred Mnemonic:

Our friend, Michael Billington really liked it:

Paul Taylor in The Independent was entertained but thought that Maureen Lipman as Peggy was a case of miscastology…so at least Maureen got an ology I suppose and for sure she spent a lot of time during the play on the phone.
