Has anyone else seen this at Trafalger Studios? I was majority impressed, especially by Steven Webb. Definitely worth going to see - it's nice to come across a black comedy that managed both the 'black' and the 'comic', if that makes sense!

I thought about booking for this when it was announced but had completely forgotten about it, thanks for the reminder! Has anyone else here seen it?

Am off to the matinee tomorrow, so will report back then. Looking forward to it I have to say though

I really enjoyed it, agree with -sarah- in that it was a proper black comedy, and really funny in places with some proper hearty laughing out loud moments. Play is mostly good, but doesn't quite have the courage of its convictions to remain cynical and dark until the end, which I found a little frustrating.
Very impressed by Nigel Harman whom I hadn't seen before, great comic delivery and mighty fine leg muscles too... but Robert Daws and Stephen Webb were also excellent.
There's a brilliant unexpected cameo moment in it, which I was a little disappointed to see mentioned in several reviews as it was a great little funny surprise.
Recommended (but I was surprised to see the ticket prices so high, £25, for such a tiny little theatre)

I've got a ticket for this December 5 matinee, and I was hoping to see first night pictures ... they won't come up on main site. Preamble, but no pictures. Anyone else had same trouble?

Works for me, but you can also see the same pictures on the photographer's website: http://wooller.com/?page=11212

I can't find any offers anywhere for this - anyone know of any?

Thanks for the link. I tried Dan Wooller's website yesterday, but another glitch nor would his Twitter link take me to them either. Odd, I thought. Anyway, I can now see pix on WOS website today OK.

Those looking for a special offer for this play could look here: tickets for £17.50

Saw this this afternoon - great fun! I agree with the first poster: it's nice to come across a black comedy that managed both the 'black' and the 'comic'. The play certainly isn't a classic, but it's entertaining and definitely well worth seeing.

Excellent cast - I didn't know Robert Daws beforehand, but he was absolutely superb. Nigel Harman also very good and funny, though I didn't think his character was quite as well written as the other two, but that's a minor quibble. Steven Webb excellent in what could be a thankless role. Hardly recognised him, though! He looked so young.

Sad to see a fair few empty seats in the small theatre, though. I'd never been to Studio 2 before, and I really liked it. The only time I couldn't see everything clearly was when my view was obstructed by Nigel Harman's bum, so I'm not going to complain!
