I damned this one with faint praise.
Quite good.
That’s not so good.
It was about astronauts, their lives, moon shots & stuff. I found it interesting but it didn’t work as drama for me. Janie was less interested in the subject matter but quite enjoyed the play in the round. (Did you see what I did there?).
Paul Godfrey wrote and directed it. It might have been tighter if he had let another director tweak and interpret a bit.
The Theatricalia entry for this play/production can be found here.
Michael Billington’s praise in the Guardian was even fainter than mine:

While Michael Coveney was a bit kinder:
