Loved it and Neil Labute rocks. The cast is awesome. The staging and set is v Ian Schrager. Faith restored in the medium of the theatre…..a flutter of air kisses and luvees all round.

So, I am back in my ancestral home – which has been in the family since the turn of the century (alright the last one). My mother’s decoration style is more Tate Modern than Laura Ashley, which means it has a twist of art installation about it. This part of greater London is as rural [...]
