ALT What a joy to see three professional, experienced, skilled & instinctive actors doing what they do best; voice, body & thought connected to form huge, believable characters. Colin, Dave & John are more than at ease on the stage. Nuanced & beautiful. Thereβs no choice: I was taken into their thrift shop with no escape and no compromise. Just short of two hours (with an interval), Mametβs brilliantly edgy, fast-paced & funny dialogue raced and I left buzzing. Thereβs no bigger rush than living and breathing the thoughts of quality actors just an arms length away. Just brilliant. An electric performance-the best Iβve seen at Kings. Unapologetic & volatile but with heart & so much soul. Thacker, Hurst & Co have nailed it. Yes, it needs to be seen by a bigger audience but, no, it shouldnβt transfer. Leave it there at the Kings Arms with a 30 seater audience and let it run! Β£15 a ticket to see that βin your faceβ quality compared to Β£40+ to see something that hides behind a fourth-wall.
