David Benedict’s West End Review
in 20th-Century Drama, Reviews and Roundtables
29th January 2007
THE DAVID BENEDICT EXPERIENCE
Ian Rickson’s The Seagull (Royal Court) and Deborah Warner’s Happy Days (National) reviewed, plus discussion of the upcoming Olivier Awards and what to look out for in February. Critics Kate Bassett and Michael Coveney join David Benedict.
Mackenzie Crook looks the part, all wired and manic, but his acting was quite flat and took a while to lift off.
