I saw today's matinee and found that after a promising start with the first couple of scenes, this went steadily downhill and well outstayed its welcome - I was so tempted to check my watch and by the time I managed to do so discreetly, was relieved to find there were only 20 minutes left. The normal, spiky, sparring dialogue was enjoyable and engaging but what was described by a character as the "tribal sh*t" was certainly ordure imo and as for all those tedious sex scenes, what on earth was the point? Cutting some of those would have reduced the running time to something more bearable.
In fairness I knew it was a marmite play and I was interested in seeing if for myself but having done so, I'm glad I only risked a £10 seat and unlike Ella Road the week before (The Phlebotomist), Ella Hickson isn't joining my list of writers to look out for.
