Though it's worth bearing in mind that it's US actors doing northern UK accents .... Must admit, Im tempted to watch this when im over in NY in a few weeks if I can pick up a cheap ticket, just out of sheer curiosity with the accents if nothing else. I wonder if the cast have been to the Dick Van Dyke school of English accents? |

No Jack leaning over a table with his cue out and sinking his balls into the corner, no Ryan.

Isn't a northern UK accent usually called a Scottish accent?
If a Scottish actor currently on the largest stage at our revered Nation Theatre cannot find a convincing accent, I'm not sure we should be too hard on American actors in an off-Broadway production of a play set thousands of miles away.
None of the cast of Jamie has mastered a true Sheffield accent, and they have less of an excuse!

Oh good Lord, it's bad enough when people from The actual North do northern accents without having to put up with Americans having a bash at it. They'll be serving tripe and milk stout in the interval next. Heaven preserve us. |
