If I was going to see this anywhere, the best chance I had of getting any form of enjoyment would be by seeing it at The Globe and I was not disappointed. It should have been dull and hard going but largely due to the contributions from Bo Poraj, Simon Paisley Day and Patrick Godfrey it was tragic fun.

Attended the very interesting Talking Theatre Q&A with Bo and Patrick afterwards. More late?
