I saw the production few years back with Henry Goodman and Eileen Atkins, thought it excellent.

I've seen London Assurance (contemporary with Money) and The Corsican Brothers but I do find it hard to believe there were no worthwhile plays written during a 50 year period. Dickens and Shaw used to go to the theatre all the time - they can't always have been seeing farces. If the Second Mrs Tanqueray was in Swedish I'm sure Michael Billington would think it just as good as Hedda Gabler I saw "Ours" by T.W.Robertson (1866) at Finborough. Full length comedy, like a Much Ado rip-off set in the Crimean War. Might be worth giving his plays a revival. Glad to see at long last people are listening to what I'm saying and acting on it. Finborough have another T.W.Robertson in their next season.

I'd love to see a revival of the double-bill which toured in the late 90s: Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound followed by Shaffer's Black Comedy. Still one of the most enjoyable nights I have ever had in a theatre.

Glengarry Glenn Ross is on its way to London for a short run, starting from around October time I think. Starring Christian Slater.

Thanks. That's the only free theatre in the West End in October unless the renovations at the Aldwych are completed by then.

It looks from an online search that Glengarry Glen Ross is indeed at the Playhouse from Thurs 26th Oct (not confirmed as theatremadness says). Interesting. I had half hoped the McKellen King Lear from Chichester might transfer directly there.

This is a great play but it is one of the very rare ones where the film is probably better - although for the film the text was softened a bit it has a great scene not in the play and the acting is top notch.
