West End Review: February 2008

 

WEST END REVIEW

Brief Encounter (Haymarket Cinema), The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other (National) and Speed the Plow (Old Vic) are assessed by Matt Wolf (International Herald Tribune), John Nathan (Jewish Chronicle) and Andrew Haydon (Time Out). David Benedict hosts. Recorded at Dewynters, London.

Part of the strength of the ‘mucking about’ in Brief Encounter is the comic joie de vivre of Kneehigh’s method.
