Jack Absolute Flies Again
This was a lot of fun; the cast were delightful and their exuberance was contagious. I don't remember there being quite so many Malapropisms in the Rivals itself (upon which this production is based) but... Overall a very good evening.
I had read a rather lukewarm review prior to seeing it - maybe the bar was set impossibly high by One Man, Two Guvnors. However, part of me wonders if the reviewer left early, as all the things he quoted and picked at appeared in the first 10 minutes, and I think you certainly needed to warm up with the characters - and the style - as the play went along.
