A wonderful classic story well told. The auditorium was so hot with o air-con so it was a little hard to concentrate at times but the plot was familiar enough to not concern me.

I'm afraid the great Mr Cranham fluffed his lines a few times but he made up for it with his physical antics. Rosumund was perfect and beautiful and Andrew's menace was delicious.

A good evening's entertainment.
