Enjoy


Enjoy, Cambridge Arts Theatre, 2009

Cast: David Troughton, Alison Steadman, Richard Glaves, Josie Walker, Mark Killeen, Peter McGovern, Julian Pindar, Carol Macready, John Gould, Chris McCalphy, Jake Ferretti, James Parkes, David Bell.

Writer: Alan Bennett
Director: Christopher Luscombe

If you're an Alan Bennett fan it occurs to me that you have to sometimes sit through slightly less fun stuff because for every big hit there's something a bit more serious. From what I remember this is about a family who are being persuaded to leave their terrace house so it can be knocked down and the area redeveloped, although I might be misremembering it. It also makes me think that although I've seen Alison Steadman in quite a few things I wonder if I've ever been blown away by her, or is that more likely to happen on TV now.
