This might have been the first production I saw at the cinema via NT Live and it really impressed me, both for the play and the way it worked in the cinema. But it took me until the tenth anniversary production to actually see it in a theatre and I loved it all over again. I'm seeing it on tour this autumn and am ready to be impressed. What a pity we had to endure the sentimental Spielberg film. This is one of those reminders of how good theatre can be.
