Review by:

David Crawford

This play for today is a neat exploration of the dynamics of a long- term relationship. Geraldine James plays an actress in a successful family drama written by her husband Robert (Trevor Eve), who reads between the lines of her on-screen husband’s (Richard E Grant) infidelities to discover the truth about her own marriage. The urbane script draws out the threads that bind two people together over the years — and the small walls that keep them apart — with wit and warmth.
