This Young Vic production directed by Benedict Andrews was fantastic. My seat was one row back from the stage so that I was within two metres of the actors much of the time - A dressing table and chair, the site for a reasonable amount of the action was directly in front of me.
I had seen the play before but I'm not sure I'd fully appreciated the broad sweep of issues with which it dealt. It is easy to get caught up in the issue of sexuality and miss the discussions of growing old and dying, of attraction and sexual responsiveness and frustration, of being able to communicate.
The acting by Sienna Miller, Jack O'Connell and Colm Meaney was superb.
