I suspect I was mostly joking, but in fairness I go to the theatre rarely am selective: the last things I've seen have been Branagh's King Lear, To Kill A Mockingbird and Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt, all of which were brilliant. Also wanted to see Havers and Hodge in Private Lives but didn't get round to it. Love Coward.
Many intriguing leads to follow here. Thank you. One remark surprised me: are there really only a few bad plays? I’m no aficionado, but the Spectator’s theatre reviews suggest that almost every new commission reeks of petulant lefty identitarian guff. The Speccie knows its audience, of course, but if you’ve seen a good one recently, please tell!
