Woefully poor audience for this. Less than a third full, I would guess and lots of chattering and sweet paper noise. The musicians were glaring at a couple of people but they were oblivious to the distraction they were causing for both the audience and the performers.
Despite all this, the cast gave fine performances, many of which were hilarious. The simple set was cleverly devised. Not exactly Shakespeare but an enjoyable farce with some lovely performers.
