I loved this which wasn't necessarily a given as I have mixed feelings about the Royal Family and it's written in iambic pentameter (I think). But it was a brilliant play. Interestingly I bought the DVD of it years later and couldn't bring myself to watch it in case it wasn't as good, and now he's actually king I think the moment has definitely passed. So this just existed, for me at least, in the moment I saw it and in memory which is sometimes how theatre needs to be.
