 | The best thing about this is Tim Hatley's design. Otherwise, it's all rather pointless. Why on earth did Kureshi rehash a 20-year old novel to make a dull play when the subject matter is ripe for a more relevant fresh look? It's all a bit of a mess with no narrative drive and I felt sorry for the cast who have to do what they can with this. - Gareth James | 01 Aug 09 |
| Truly awful. It's hard to pick out who is to blame for this embarassing mess; is it the ridiculous script, the leaden direction, or the one-note delivery of the actors? I found myself wishing I was at home doing the ironing. - Addicted to theatre | 31 Jul 09 |
