The second time I've seen this, the previous time was with David Tennant at the Barbican. There's something about this play and hot youngish actors (at the same time someone of that description was doing it on Broadway). It's a pity that the play is nonsense and I couldn't wait for it to end.
Jonathan Bailey, who at the time had just been described as the hottest man on the planet or something, was good, very energetic, very watchable. The staging was great, but none of it makes up for the fact that I just didn't like the play.
