I know it's late in the day as it finishes on Saturday, but has anyone else seen it? I saw it a couple of days ago, not under the best conditions, and I was very impressed.

I was bang on time and it was great
Really enjoyed this Donmar Trafalgar season, more consistent than the Donmar at the moment!

I saw this a couple of night ago - really enjoyed it too, though maybe not quite as much as the other two Donmar Trafalgars, The Promise and the Dance of Death. It was occasionally a touch 'minimal' and cryptic for my taste, but Leo Bill was great as the German officer who can't stop babbling in a seeming attempt to counter the brooding silence of the other two occupants of the house. And a fab soundscape - furniture scraping upstairs, etc
Also, I had Paddy Ashdown sitting a few seats away from me, which was a bit of a distraction! I think one of his companions was French, and - from my attempts to earwig their conversation as we left - it appeared that she wasn't that impressed by what she'd seen!

I am actually Prince Philip. It's just a quick pony and trap ride down the Mall.
Anyway, probably agree this was my least favourite of the three (best was Dance of Death), but on the whole a great season. Particularly liked the links between the three plays - all three handers, two men and one women, one of them a soldier, all trapped together in one room. Felt like the same set of relationships being explored in different settings in different times and differnet war zones - a bit like "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Lewie
