Cast: Jodie Taibi, Hermione Norris, Robert Bathurst, Bo Poraj, Charlotte Thornton, Alison Steadman, Ruthie Henshall.
Writer: Noel Coward
Director: Thea Sharrock.
This is probably top of my list of things I never want to see again and that's' because of this production. Alison Steadman really hammed it up as Madame Arcati in a way that was just annoying. Ruthie Henshall was probably too old to play the dead first wife. Perhaps it's time to look at some of Coward's other work or give him a rest completely.
