Review: BEST OF ENEMIES, Noël Coward Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - November 29, 2022


It's an exceptional addition to a Theatreland that's generally lacking in political engagement, especially during the Christmas period. It's intense, brainy, and absolutely delectable. The latest West End must-see.
