Has anybody been to see this and checked on the timing?

I saw this the other night and agree it was pointless to have an interval as the play was short. Though I guess it gives the theatre a chance to make some dosh at the bar. I liked the play as I am a fan of Williams. There wasn't that many people there due to the high cost of seats. Mine was a tenner off, otherwise I wouldn't have gone.

Far too short for an interval. The whole thing lasted 1 hour 25 mins with a 15 minute interval. I understand the theatre may need the money from sales but people were so puzzled at the end of the first "half" coming so soon - they didn't even applaud.
The play feels like a long one-act play rather than a major work. Interesting characterisation, typical annoying Williams' leading lady, and a scenario which makes you wonder why certain people get together and then even stick together.
One for completists but there are flashes of brilliance.
