The Last of the Haussmans


The Last of the Haussmans, National Theatre, 2012

Cast: Helen McCrory, Rory Kinnear, Isabella Laughland, Julie Walters, Matthew Marsh, Taron Egerton

Writer: Stephen Beresford
Director: Howard Davies

I obviously went to see this for Julie Walters, who I imagine was back on stage for the first time in ages, and now she's in semi-retirement will probably never do it again. Helen and Rory were a nice bonus. Taron Egerton made his professional debut in this and if I said I spotted a star in the making I'd be lying - the blog I wrote at the time makes no mention of him, but it does describe the play as average and too long.
