 | Travelled from Southend to Eastbourne to see show - it was the worst show ive ever seen!! Wasn't funny AT ALL. - Dee | 10 Apr 12 |
| went to see this rubbish play last night when it came down to southend!! I have never seen a worse play in the past 40 years, & am very surprised that the producer, Bill Kenwright has put his name to it!! - tony grossman | 07 Mar 12 |
| Absolute rubbish, billed as a comedy nothing funny about it, acting was very poor, nudity and swearing for no reason other than for the sake of it. bun/cake fight more suitable for childrens show. Not alone in my views looked around me during performance very vew people laughing in so called funny scenes. The theatre was only about approx 1/3 full, who's the clever one's then. Would loved to have got refund for misrepresentation of comedy. Martin Southend. - Martin | 07 Mar 12 |
| Edinburgh - Clunky dialogue, no one engaged with each other much, ridiculous nudity for the sake of it and drawn out speeches for no real purpose. Steven Blakeley was the absoloute star of the show. He was totally believable and very touching. He saved the show. I was so looking forward to seeing how the cast performed away from their soaps. To be honest they didn't do very well at all. Suzanne Shaw and Gemma Bissix were easily the weakest actors. Felt this hasn't done anyones portfolios any good at all. A waste of money. - Mimi | 05 Mar 12 |
| We took my 80 year old mother - being totally unaware of the content! Which only made the afternoon funnier! We had great fun. Cast excellent although Gemma Bissix not greatly effective. Craig Gazey was great ! - Susie A | 03 Mar 12 |
| - | Went to see it last night in Edinburgh. Left after 10 minutes. Couldn't stand the homophobic comments. Complained to the management who made much of the fact it was written and set in the 70's. In my view should have been left there! - Beth Cumming | 02 Mar 12 |
| - | Very poor left after 1st act, Edinburgh, just not funny over acted and to be frank boring. I was not alone as over twenty people followed me out. Waste of space and time avoid at all costs - allmac | 27 Feb 12 |
| Just really poor not very interesting story just boring and silly perculiar not my cup of tea but I supose it reflected the era. - Jules | 17 Feb 12 |
