I'm not sure how many times I've seen this so I'm hoping this process will clarify that, but whatever the number is it won't be enough - this is one of the best pieces of theatre I've ever seen. It's quite a small story but the scale of its telling is amazing - it looks incredible on the stage, and moments like getting on the Tube train genuinely make you hold your breath. And it's got a very complicated central character to cast so it's impressive how well each of the actors I've seen play it have done it. Probably the best adaptation of a book ever.
