 | I saw this in the double-bill with Landscape, which was the better play. It was another of my rules broken ('No More Pinter!'); I simply can't resist seeing two favourite actors - Simon Russell Beale and Clare Higgins - together for just the 2nd(?) time. I'm not sure I understand what it's about and it seems to me to be third rate Beckett, clumsily staged. Of course, both plays were both beautifully acted, but oh for the same pairing in a proper play by Shakespeare, Marlowe, Miller, O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Mamet, Stoppard..... - Gareth James | 01 Oct 08 |
