Noises Off @ The Old Vic

Noises off @ The Old Vic. Rejoice A true british farce nearing the end of it's run before moving to the west end north of the river. 8/10

This is the 3rd time I have seen this play. The first was in 1982 at the Savoy. Way up in the gods I remember feeling that I was going to fall out ofmy seat they were so steep and hardly being able to contain my laughter such was the impact of this very clever play. The 2nd time was with my family. The 3rd at The Old Vic starring Celia Imri was another great cold February weekday escape. Was the stage a bit too big, would the the jokes and physical farce have had even more impact on a more congested set? I think so. Still great play. Will there be a 4th?

Pre theatre meal in The Old Fire Station with James Tye and his new partner - a hypnotherapist who sang the backing high notes on The Beetles last album - very good Malbec, food tepid though.
