Any of our friends across the pond attending? Would love to hear your thoughts.
I loved the original production and have high hopes for the revival!

Here's what I posted on the West End board:
Just got back from the first preview.
All in all, an incredible, unexpecting, teriffic experience. Having no idea/concept of what this was about, I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the duration of the whole play. Without spoiling anything, the shocks and thrills are built up very well, as the tension which is being created by the characters and the space they're in, really transcends a great effect on you and I felt really feel nervous of what was going to happen.
A superb cast - an absolute honour to see Simon Russell Beale perform, Estelle Parsons is very funny (having seen her in August: Osage County, it's amazing to see she has the comedy chops, as well as dramatic) and Jonathan Groff did a fine job in his West End debut. I could tell that the actors had really comitted to this piece of theatre and for a first preview, this is in great shape.
If anyone's looking for thrilling (and funny) night out, then you're in for a treat.

@AvenueQResident
I take it you're too young to have seen the sitcom, Roseanne? (Am I officially old?!)

Posted: 8/21/10 at 10:18pmAve Q didn't write the review....he just posted it from someone on the West End board. THEREFORE, most likely written by a Brit, that never saw Roseanne.

I did write the review, and yes do I know of 'Roseanne', but not well enough to know that Estelle Parsons was in it.
And I am indeed a Brit!
