I think they are both recent Royal Academy of Music graduates. This is the production that is playing at the Pleasance during the last week of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Wow, the show was AMAZING. I've been hearing whispers of a full West End transfer for it later this year. It would be great to see a full run for this production as i don't feel the Menier's production did it justice.. Not sure where it could go though as i don't think it would suit anywhere above 450/500 seats.. Although, saying that, it really did work in the Apollo...

Have to say I was disappointed with this one night preview!!

Hannah Wilding as Cathy was (i hope) suffering from a sore throat, which was a shame because she could have been stand out. She had a nice vulnerabilty about her but that was it. There wasn't any real depth to either of the characters and i didn't believe their relationship at all. Nadim Naaman was very, very generalised and flapping his arms like he was directing aeroplanes- one from the Connie school of training possibly. He did have a nice voice but that was what it was about for him, i didn't sense a character on a journey rather than a singer singing songs. The direction was messy and some of the staging was just not needed. A simplistic approach would have been far superior!! I became very bored, i have to say.

Also the bloody follow spot operator needs to be sacked!! Has he done the job before?? It was all over the place

Hope it changes before Ed. It needs to!!

Hannah's stage name surname isn't the same as her real surname. It turns out I know her from university: I did two shows with her.

She was great as Mrs Stalin in "Stalin the Musical" at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003.
I wouldn't say a word that could be reckoned as injurious,
But to find a mother younger than her son is very curious,
And that's the kind of mother that is usually spurious.
