Seen on a silly cheapie standby during it's premiere run at the Olivier with Anastasia Hille in the audience
Well, that's a nice bunch of actors in gainful employment for the rest of Summer and beyond!
Lovely, outwardly simple design that perfectly served the action so a big tick in that box. Performances were well measured and it's my own fault for grabbing a cheapie that I did not become fully involved in this tale of suffragette love. The centre section went wild at the curtain call. I had an instructive view of the Elysian Quartet who must be bored stupid with their sporadic insertion of one and two note tones. They sounded beautiful but so sparsely used.
