I caught a little gem at The Old Red Lion over the weekend. 'The Conservatory' is a very funny, but ultimately moving play performed by a top cast including Cate Hamer (who I'd never seen on stage before - she's GREAT!), Tina Gray and Tony Bell. Would make a perfect radio production and there's already talk of a transfer. Seems to have been ignored by 'WhatsOnStage' but the Time Out website's getting some good punter reviews - so get along if you can
