Some good acting here. But I loved sensing the stagecraft off Rattigan, the places where movement, a gesture and the tricky hat box scenario would work in a full performance. The new chap was superb, young so mastered the medium but really has something I thought. Bravo Jermyn St for giving us the live performance, warts and all: very different from the recorded, filmed events which are also welcome of course but which somehow show up the loss.

Agree. 4-7 June they are doing Wind in the Willows, as a livestream, 7 performances, with audience participation ! They are showing up the likes of the RSC with their inventiveness and positive attitude. |

Well done Jermyn Street. Very brave, really got into it once the odd format became familiar. Good acting all round, would love to see them do it on stage.
Well worth a donation.
