The European premiere of Stephen Sachs' Bakersfield Mist, starring Kathleen Turner and Ian McDiarmid, opened at the Duchess Theatre last night.

Reviewing the play for WhatsOnStage, Michael Coveney said: "It's great to see Turner still careering down an untended path of soggy emotional wipe-out, and McDiarmid bristling inimitably like a porcupine before being trampled underfoot by a gorgon."

The two-hander comedy, tells the story of a woman who buys a painting for $3 that she comes to believe is an original Jackson Pollock worth millions. The play runs at the Duchess Theatre until 30 August 2014.
