It is a bad play.

Bit out of date with your yoof-speak there, I understand "sick" is a more modish adjective now.

Saw this play yesterday and really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The whole cast were very good especially Ben. It was very moving at the end and admit I shed a few tears. I dont very often go to the stage door after a play but I did yesterday and managed to get Ben's autograph who was lovely and unasuming and happily stayed for anyone who wanted to see him. Would highly recommend this play.

I went to SD after seeing the show & managed to get Ben's autograph too. What a very shy and humble person he seemed to be.  I may have got this wrong but he seemed to be stunned that people wanted to meet him. I really did enjoy it and the ending was quite emotional.

Ben Whishaw seems genuinely nice.  At the Baftas he didn't do a "I don't deserve/didn't expect this" speech but did seemed genuinely flustered at the idea of winning and having to give a (in the end lovely) speech.  A friend of mine once drank with him at a bar and he was apparently easy to get on with.  What's the old phrase about the kind of person you'd bring back to your parents or something?  He's that.  And to me, one sign of a great actor is someone who can shine in slightly lacking pieces and in my opinion he did that here, in Cloud Atlas and in The Hour, so in all mediums.  He's also the perfect candidate for a film about Nick Drake, should one ever be made.  I'm not his agent, I just slightly wish I was so I could point him in the direction of better material than this.
