I wanted to see this local to me in Bromley, but I am on holiday then.
So going to see this in Brighton on Saturday, after Macbeth in Chichester, so need to plan my trains, so would be great if someone could guide me on the running time please?

I saw this last night in Brighton after a Macbeth in Chichester, so after contending with two lots of railway engineering works and driving rain, I made it to Brighton, just about!
Firstly the show was poorly attended, about 100 people in all, for a Saturday night, with a relative famous show and a big name attached, I get no pleasure seeing this show so poorly attended.
Shane Richie though is unite a enjoyable actor and it is a role that fits in persona like a glove, like The Starry Messenger did with Matthew Broderick.Shane is a decent enough actor, but unfortunately has been straightjacketed by Eastenders, which seems not to have helped him. When I saw him in New Tricks on the BBC, I was surprised how well he could act. And my opinion has changed tonight.
The play itself as been moved from the Suez crisis to the Falklands War, so wondering if the jokes have been updated? If they have/or not they were quite funny.

Not really surprising, firstly it isnt that well known a play and Ritchie certainly isnt a big enough name
