I saw this last night and to be honest, I really thought the first act wasn’t my kind of thing, a Southern family thing that didn’t really catch my interest but the second act was so, so, good: it just built and built before exploding both verbally and physically (Sarah Paulson and Corey Stoll were both excellent, I didn’t think there was a weak link in the cast) and the ending is certainly a WTF moment (in a good way though)
One of the productions of the year for me: I don’t know if it will ever transfer out of the US but highly recommended if you get a chance to see it.

Mods, can you please correct the spelling of the name of the theatre in the title of this thread? A quick look at my avatar will show you how Helen Hayes spelled her name. Thank you.

Gosh that's weird - I considered this for my recent trip to NYC but decided against it in the end, and had completely forgotten seeing it at the Donmar! Obviously a memorable production...

It’s transferred to the Belasco from now until June, prices have gone up a lot since I saw it but it’s worth seeing if you can.

Donmar production was … OK. But I guess what stuck with me was the lighting so well done. Glad they won a TONY for that!
