As an avid admirer of Tom Lehrer’s incisive wit since the age of 12, I was prepared to deliver a cutting commentary on any performance less than outstanding. Sadly I was disappointed. This show was nothing less than brilliant!
It is one of Coward’s wittiest and almost pseudo autobiographical plays, in which the pompous and egotistic Garry Essendine echoes much of Coward’s life, as he swans through relationships, and other life dramas.
