a magnificent collaboration by all cconcerned with the Royal Court for one night only
This was a singular experience. The evening started with a recitation from David Hare of his Hay on Wye lecture/tribute to John Osborne from 2002. Ian Rickson introduced the main event and we were treated to scenes from the work and re-enactments of the conversations between the then Creative Director, George Devine, John Osborne and the man who was the first to direct the piece, Tony Richardson.
There was some lovely anecdotal stuff from Ben Walden who was John's step-son by his final marriage.
The audience was special. the production was special and the final couple of hours in the bar were alright too!
