I suppose the French were brought up on French classicism whereas we were brought up on Shakespeare - two very different traditions, as Voltaire pointed out.

I thought this was splendid. We've had a few rhyming plays in recent years and I've mostly found them irritating. I'm not sure why, but this one seemed to work and the rhyming verse helped the pace of the story rather than impeded it. A clever plot and good performances all round.

I emailed the sunday.play to signal the general satisfaction with the production. I got an autogenerated reply some days ago saying if it needed an individual reply it would get one, otherwise it wouldn't. But I hope the message got through anyway
I'm still impressed by the ingenuity of the plot.
