Hilarious, Great performances, Clever, Fluffy

See it if old school comedies ie one set, obvious set-up and a huge pay-off. The cast is superb, one of whom should arrested for scene stealing!

Don't see it if if drawing room comedies that aren't much deeper than their set bore you. But lighten up; it's only a play,
