This is okay so far
Things pick up in small moments when the realities of war seap through. Otherwise there are longeurs that don't advance the plot
You've got the usual characters. The roguish hero and the dumb blonde with a fake wig

I should really listen to common sense and know why plays like this have taken ages to finally premiere
It's not bad. Well acted with a nice set.
The play is just so average and predictablr. It's trying to be Casablanca, which I'm sure the elderly audience would have enjoyed, but the characters are predictable types
Most of the time I was the Petra maid who kept rolling her eyes at the blonde exclaiming her love for the guy

Ah. I like Hemingway and the Spanish Civil War (in that I'm interested in it, not that I think it was a good thing); I thought this would be right up my street. But you're right - the question about why it hasn't been put on in London before should have occurred!

OK, I'm due to see this tonight and I just don't know if I can be bothered. If I decided to say 'screw it', am I missing something that has good points? Worth seeing just because it's unlikely to come round again? Or a complete waste of an evening?
I suppose there's always the option to leave in the interval...
Thanks!
