Just announced and while there is no Shaw revival (maybe they think the next Dromgoole season will be enough) there is an extremely rare revival of Congreve's Double Dealer directed by Selina Cadell who appears to be the director of choice for restoration comedies.

I don't know Double Dealer - but I saw an unusual opera directed very skillfully by Cadell, so this will probably be worth catching.

Double Dealer is a great rarity, I can't ever recall a production of it. The Orange Tree normally does things like that quite well so include me in.

Thanks for this. I’ve never been to the OT theatre and had booked for something last Xmas but had to ditch it last minute due to illness. I’ll have a look and probably book for something and hopefully stay free from illness this time! |

I last saw this at the National in 1979 with Ralph Richardson, Robert Stephens and Dorothy Turin. The rest of the cast were pretty good too. Enjoyed it as far as I can remember. NT Catalogue Cast |
