This Was A Man - Comedy
FOUR STAR REVIEW ( remote goat) Once the three main characters are properly introduced the sexual tension rises and Coward's dialogue becomes as terse as any David Mamet play. In particular the scenes involving Pike and Porter provide a master class in acting. The comedy and the pathos are also well-balanced.
THREE STARS REVIEW ( carns theatre passions) "A witty and debauched peek into high society with some memorable performances and incredibly witty moments, Noel Coward's play This Was a Man is a refreshingly entertaining evening out. It also leaves you musing over the difference between your public face and private self, and just how far the difference between the two is. As such, the play's messages and ideas still resonate, with much of the humour still finding its mark. Both physically and verbally, the humour really sparkled and the set and costumes cleverly integrated modern quirks in with the post-war dialogue, to further enhance the timeless message of Coward's play.
