Enoyed this far more than I expected this afternoon; had been half-dreading it as one of those plays I felt I ought to see but might find a bit heavy, but not at all, though intense and fast-paced, yes. The whole cast was great and the 2 male leads in particular were impressive in their rapid delivery of what was often more monologue than dialogue.
As others have said, the sound (not exactly music and certainly not music to my ears) was almost painfully loud and in the second half I found that the traverse staging required more head-swivelling than in the first; a shame also to see the house only half or two thirds full, but well worth seeing for me and even better for being a bargain at £10.

Really strong stuff, great performences by the two leads, fabulous acting, such energy and passion, simple set yet well used. The only parts I didnt like were the speaches by the lawyer to the audience, which seemed to interupt the flow of things, but wasnt that bad. Highly recommended. Oh and some very naughty natics by a group of schoolkids in the balcony, see the bad behavior thread.
