Good on her for doing something completely different at the Donmar to mark the start of the next phase in the Donmar's incredible story. Am really looking forward to seeing this one
I saw it last night and while the cast was having an off-night - line stumbles, breaking up with laughter, etc. - it was lots of fun. The fact that Ms Rourke opens with a broad Restoration comedy says regime change right away. For all the excellences of the Grandage era there wasn't much laughter around the Donmar. Last night it was positively raucous in there.
