Writer: Noel Coward
Director: Michael Blackmore
A play I never wanted to see again because Madame Arcati is just an excuse for overacting but how could I miss the chance to see Dame Angela? As it happened it was the only time I saw her on stage, and yes she did overact, and even got a round of applause just for walking onto the stage. I remember Jemima Roper being especially good as the dead wife. Patsy Ferran has gone on to greater things.
