If you have a short attention span and quite like "The Street" then this the show for you and I mean that in the best possible way. This is an example of Churchill's writing at its best it is funny, moving and so real it feels like watching CCTV in better quality.I am officially Paul Ready's biggest fan, his acting style is understated, endearing and a delight to watch, he is on usual top form as Pete. Hattie Morahan's goldfish, open mouthed gawping is growing old, there was a time when I found her endearing and unique and now she has quickly become dull. Her character of Dawn had a maximum of about 10 lines and a suicide cry for help however I felt little concern for her well-being. Ian Hart and Lindsey Coulson opened the show beautifully and had the wonderful talent for talking over each other without losing a single joke.
Overall there was little wrong with this production, it was a shame that I could see the Phrede set looming behind the smaller set designed by Naomi Dawson, it occasionaly reminded me of my previous boredom but the hard working cast quickly won my attention back again.
