The conceit of this play is basically a Maria Callas masterclass towards the end of the great diva’s life.
We saw this one on a Friday evening. This was a touring production by Theatre Royal Bath Productions that was starting off at Richmond for just a few days.
My log reads:
Janie got more out of this one than I did.
So there you have it.
I think I found the play not so interesting. The production did a pretty good job with the material, as I saw it. Jane Lapotaire played the lead and she was very watchable.
Here is a clip from the Surrey Herald as the productions et off on its merry way:
