I loved this play. I was visiting a friend when it was performed in Colchester. Fantastic acting and a wonderful plot full of wit and food for thought. We were surprised that it wasn’t *the* show of the night. My only regret is that it doesn’t seem available on video anywhere. Living in the US makes it complicated to see it repeatedly.
