If you are feeling totally fed up with your lot at the moment with the economic squeeze - go see this film
I thought this was an excellent, powerful production. The staging and acting were superb, it is well worth going to see
Absolutely AMAZING show that went like a train for three hours solid and didn't waiver once!
London,
Thirlwell's comedy of manners, in which the humiliations and absurdisms of sex are brilliantly played out with an excruciating commitment to realism, is so self-consciously pleased with itself that the reader is plunged into a constant conflict of frustration, irritation and fascination.
It's achingly contemporary, too: as three North London twentysomethings clumsily embark on a menage a trois, Thirlwell sends up the neuroses of the age while acknowledging, equally playfully, the literary influences of Milan Kundera and Gustave Flaubert. An admirable triumph of style over substance.
