This was a revival of a production that was apparently so gory it caused people to faint. I was very sceptical about that - it's people acting, nobody is getting hurt, it's not blood - and yet a woman fainted in front of me. I've forgotten everything else about it, including the fact that Indira Varma was in it. I think it's probably one of those ridiculous plays that could have been lost and nobody would have missed it.
