Can't complain about this
It's a modest satire on the fracking issue for Chichester's usual audience. A few moments of forced exposition with no real gut punches yet. Though there are a few moments that reminds us that we are own worst enemy
Oliver Chris steals the show as a smarmy Reputation PR guy helping the fracking manufacturers

Wouldn't have got commissioned otherwise. |

It has just visited Guildford when the times were given as:
Act 1: 70 mins
Interval: 20 mins
Act 2: 45 mins
So should be similar in Richmond.
I'm glad it's touring but it's galling to have flogged to Chichester for it last year, only to have it visiting 3 of my local theatres (Brighton, Guildford, Richmond). I know you can never tell which productions will transfer/tour and they're not always those with the best reviews from any season at CFT or elsewhere, but some of the current venues have a huge overlap in catchment area with the original one.

Saw it last week at Malvern - 2 hours 20 minutes including interval. Harry Haddon-Paton totally steals the show, but fine performances from all the cast.
