User Review: 20Oct23: Lots of people laughing, my heart was nearly breaking, this play transported me back to those terrible times, a time when my dad and brothers all had to sign on, my poor dad nearly went mad and my brothers went to work abroad breaking my mums heart. Fantastic acting, singing, choreography was amazing, yozzer was outstanding. Never thought I could hate the Conservative party anymore than I do, this play refuled my contempt for this disgraceful government.
