I think that I've become quite a hard marker when it comes to theatre, which might explain why I'm not more effusive about this one. I thought it was good all round - performances (Robyn Nevin always stands out, but here all the others held their own), staging (set design by Callum Morton [1], [2]), the play itself (sharply written, funny, avoiding caricature) - but it also felt like I'd seen its story of old family tensions arising from past secrets being brought to light before, right down to the final act reveal about what really happened with Henry. But for all that, still, this was good.
