[Pharaoh's number 2]

A hilarious and thought provoking snipe at the English middle class and the National Trust. It's a corker of a play, and it gets a production to match. Wonderful to see a play which is dominated by three elderly women, superbly played by Frances de la Tour, Linda Bassett (who is a joy to watch throughout) and Selina Cadell.

It's a somewhat lighter play than some of his other works, but it's still classic Bennett and in my view one of his most enjoyable. Looking forward to the press reviews.

ELDERLY? Be afraid young person. I can moderate you to within an inch of your theatrical leanings.

Nice to read good review though. I'm see it it soon so looking forward. Keep up the good work PN2

Ok, 'senior member of society'- that better?

I suppose you mean 'senior by age female member of society'. How about 'sisters of Thora'?

Yes, not in position, though Dot is a Lady.

If a newbie can intrude, I thought on the theatrical circuit one was either 'promising' or 'veteran' ...

Thank you, Frieda, you are most welcome.
