Was it the cocktails and wine at Spuntino ahead of lunch or was it just that this play is really, really funny? Although I've spoken recently with someone who hated this (cannot remember who), we loved it. True, the "thrill" from the original thriller are utterly lost, replaced with jokes both physical and verbal, some acrobatics (the "dead" woman in Hannay's flat doing some splendid planking) and a host of characters portrayed only by a change of coat or hat, with the same actor at one time talking to himself as he twists and turns half-in, half-out of two coats and sometimes between accents. Gloriously funny farce. If that's what you go expecting, you won't be disappointed. More cocktails afterwards!
