Justifying War (Tricycle Theatre, Inner London)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | This is riveting. The transcripts of the Hutton inquiry have been edited down to 2 hours (in an apparently balanced way) and you hang on every word, it's fascinating. The acting is magnificently naturalistic - watch out for a tour de force by the actor playing Mackinlay, who chaired the Select Committee, and is uncomfortably out of control and deeply sympathetic all at the same time. And to be able to see the original emails and memos on plasma screens feels like open government for once (albeit ex post facto) - though I'd recommend sitting towards the right of the auditorium to be able to see the screens easily. Did it tell me much I didn't know? - not really. Was it great theatre? - yes. - USER: Whatsonstage.com (82.35.62.168) | 12 Nov 03 |
