in this production's first run at the Donmar
I have looked forward to this so much and was not let down. The performances are wonderful.
We watch a young boy's growth to a married man and the strong influence (intentioned or otherwise) that his father had on him during this course.
Even the children gave acceptable performances. An enthralling production from start to finish. Nigel Planer sat behind me but I didn't get into a Hogfather conversation:)
A funny incident in the bar: A couple were talking about previous shows they'd seen there and gushed the praise of Michael Gambon. The guy said he could have just stood there and said nothing and still be entertaining. I butted in to say that he was doing just that in Eh Joe at the Duke of Yorks for three weeks and they took some convincing :)
