WEST END REVIEW (2/2)

Mark Shenton (Sunday Express) and his guests David Benedict (Variety), Charles Spencer (Daily Telegraph), and Matt Wolf (International Herald Tribune) assess Life Is a Dream (Donmar), Pains of Youth (National), Annie Get Your Gun (Young Vic), Mrs Klein (Almeida) and The Rise and Fall of Little Voice (Vaudeville). Expletives not deleted. Recorded at Dewynters, London.

One of the great things in the theatre is the Clare Higgins curtain-call, because she’ll snap out of angst into this beaming presence.
