Reviews

"We Were Not Amused"

After the last production, I had high hopes for their latest offering. So maybe it was my fault that I cam away disappointed - not at the acting but at the play.

The plot was shallow, the jokes predictable and the language a little bit strong when it needn't have been.

All farces risk becoming ridiculous and unfunny. This one has those misfortunes.

The author, Hugh Leonard, has been described as the latest in a line of Irish playwrights which runs Sheridan, Wilde, Shaw, O'Casey.
