Yes, yes, yes! This was really good.
I have seen The Dance of Death before – indeed both parts – but this tight version by Howard Brenton, enabling both parts to pan out in one play, worked really well for me and for Janie too.
Superbly well acted – Michael Pennington and Linda Marlowe were sensational in the leading roles (my previous experience of Edgar and Alice was Alan Bates and Francis de la Tour, so I know my top notch Edgar and Alices).
The youngsters (Edward Franklin and Eleanor Wyld) in the tightened up Part Two were also excellent, as were all the supporting cast.
An extraordinary production too, in that tiny theatre, managing to get so much out of that small space.

A cracker.
