Clumsy title! I loved the book this is based on and really should read it again sometime soon. But I don't remember much about this. I'm sure I enjoyed it but unexpectedly it had no life after this run. Every time I come across a programme for the Menier I feel like I ought to go back soon but they no longer seem to have anything on that appeals - I think Covid knocked the wind out of their sails and somehow they're no longer the exciting theatre they used to be.
