Watery Fowls
The excellent reviews of this play are certainly well-deserved, and we - along with the rest of the matinee audience demographic - enjoyed ourselves immensely.
The cast were splendid in their roles - which were essentially pitch perfect mimicry of the original cast - with astonishing attention to detail in costuming and set. Hard to imagine the characters played by anyone other than John Cleese, Connie Booth, Prunella Scales and unforgettable Andrew Sachs - and yet here they were.
One amusement for me was seeing idol of my youth, Paul Nicholas, as the elderly and confused Major - he was (again) perfect - and a long way from Jesus Christ (but still a Superstar).
[G observed before the start that it was rather like going to see a much-loved tribute band - and so it was].
