An entertaining, genuinely funny revival of Keith Waterhouse's homage to Victorian farce (adapted from the novel by George and Greedon Grossmith), the opening night saw a couple of minor stumbles smoothly overcome by the old trooper casting of Miranda Foster and Edward Baker-Duly.
For those who may not be familiar with this, without giving away any spoilers, a married couple in the late Victorian era move to a new home and decide (spontaneously and independently) to start writing a diary at the same time. Much of the humour is in the different interpretation by each one of the same event.
Energetic, lively-paced and with great interplay between the cast who also deftly move the various props about during the action, the audience loved this and it is certainly one way to chase away the blues. There was a great atmosphere on the first night and it felt very much more like good old days than new normals.
Definitely recommended.
