My abiding memory off this is that there was cooking on stage. She definitely fried an egg - one benefit of the cheap seats is that you could see into the frying pan - perhaps she did the chips too? I think I liked it more than I was expecting to partly because I was probably older than the character so I could understand the disappointment she felt whereas when it first came out I'd just turned 20 and knew nothing.
