Over 2 hours of enjoyment!

Kevin Kline in Noël Coward's Present Laughter - what a perfect match for an actor and a real feast for the audience. It kept me glued for over two hours, and it was a faultless performance from a team which knows what the real acting is! I loved the stage setup, the sound was perfectly edited, directing was out of this world - I wish I could watch more performances like this. Watch it, it's really something exceptional.
