User Review: 23Mar16: A wonderful production. An excellent cast. Humour, Pathos, emotion all come to the fore in an excellent script. Anna Wheatley gives the sort of performance that makes you want to tell your Facebook cronies immediately. One of the best I've seen at the Octagon for years. The audience gave the cast a standing ovation. It was well deserved.
