Funny and well staged with really great characters and individual performances.
Olivier Theatre
A Maxim Gorky play being revived by the National Theatre. The play lacks a strong direction and feels a bit wandering. However, it is funny, well staged (and great set design that really uses much of what the Olivier has to offer to great effect). It touches on modern themes well (unnecessarily obviously at times, but hopefully they’ll dial it down before previews are over). And some really great characters and individual performances. Overall a good night at the theatre.
