Janie and I thought this one was:
Good.
A fine cast, including Jane Arnfield, Louise Bush, Paul Higgins, Michelle Joseph, Veronica Roberts, John Ramm, Simon Trinder, Al Nedjari, and Gary Lilburn, directed by Mike Alfreds.
Our friend, Michael Billington, was not so impressed, praising the acting but not the play, awarding a rare, mere, two stars:

Nicholas de Jongh described it as “disappointing” and awarded a dreaded Standard blob:

Unusually, Janie & I agreed with Charles Spencer more than Billington on this one:

I guess we could fall for “the oldest of reactionary canards” occasionally, especially when we went to the theatre after an early Friday evening supper at Harry Morgans.
The following day we went to Kim’s birthday party, which would for sure have lightened our mood after that dark play.
