Wit.

Well.

What a cracking production.

The subject matter is, shall we say, sombre.

But nonetheless, director David Grimes wrings (nonsense sensationalist reviewer speak - but true) every drop of humour out of the script.

You will find a clutch of really superb performances from some of the group's best female actresses. (Maybe I should say actors - more politically correct?) Hilary is quite astounding. Wendy and Lorraine are quite lovely.

The boys do a pretty fine job too. Tis lovely to see John Kelly back on stage again. Steven is a brilliant Geordie doctor.

And we have some very fine supporting actors who do an incredible job of making the continual scene shifts (and medical business) look seamless.

The extraordinary thing about this particular production is that 'tis done in the round. Which is pretty unusual for a nominally amateur production. Even for a professional production for that matter.

So if all of these other factors bundled together didn't appeal, that should at least whet your appetite.

Go see go see. It's a cracker of a show. Details if they have somehow escaped you are here.
