Pros: This is a well-constructed production, at times charming, at times heart-breaking. Cons: Both acting and story become increasingly repetitive, interfering with the play’s ability to be at all memorable. We are in a flat in Belsize Park in 1991. Books, art prints, classical sheet music, old-fashioned furniture and other bric-a-brac are scattered about, whilst Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1 in G Minor Opus 25 plays.

Jermyn Street Theatre’s specially commissioned new play is a fiery concoction of mental distress, marital problems and volatile chemistry that, whilst set in 1896, translates well to a modern audience. A real gem of a show.

The cast is good, and there are some tender and comic moments, but overall this production fails to make much impact.

Even with the touch of Sondheim this is heavy going, but still manages to shine with some pleasing performances.

Humourous conversation between a fallen celebrity and his valet about living the elegant life in not so elegant surroundings.

An eclectic mix of cabaret, stand up and monologue add sparkle to an acutely observed performance.

Skilfully evokes the plight of homosexual men in 1900s America.

A unique take on a classic story that welcomes you with open arms with its expert humour.
