Not a fan on farces myself, but still a glutton for punishment .
I saw Harlinquindae, which was painstaking and made me cringe and just confirmed that Mr Brangh cannot do comedy, but when seeing the Painkiller you realise I was wrong, but why? The answer is Mr Brydon a fantastic, nuisanced and subtle actor, who Mr Branagh could bounce off and flourish and it worked, this lacked in Harlinquindae as Mr Brangh was the lone star that made me cringe.
At the end Mr Brangh and Mr Brydon shared equal star billing for the bows and I see why.

Does anyone know where i can buy the book for this play. It was published by Nick Hern publications, but i can't find it anywhere. There is hardly a picture of it's cover on the internet. I have located a copy on the french amazon which costs around 50 pounds. I would appreciate any info on this. Many thanks.

I would try writing directly to NH books, they might have some copies lying around. Maybe try physical shops? National theatre or The Calder Bookshop & Theatre on The Cut, near Old Vic.
