Two short plays at The Riverside.
In truth, 25 years later, I remember little about this evening and/or these plays.
Unusual for us to go to the theatre on a Thursday evening, so something must have inspired us to do that. Possibly the secure knowledge that after my Washington trip the week before I’d be good for nothing the preceding weekend. I’ll write some more about the Washington trip elsewhere, when the time feels right.
But something else must have inspired us to choose this twinning of short plays by writers we hadn’t heard of, with cast and creatives we also hadn’t heard of.
Theatricalia can’t help me with this one.
To the rescue, Mark Cook with this preview in The Guardian.

Also to the rescue, Patrick Marmion in The Standard. This pretty good review, published the very evening we went:
