This was the first production at the Bridge Theatre and although I've been three more times since then I still don't think it's found its identity. It just feels like the same sort of thing Nicholas Hytner would have done when he was at the National Theatre and often involves the same people he worked with before. I remember this being a farce - lots of running around a rather gloomy set. Unlikely choice for a first production.
