Great video. I thought it was a great play. Something I really enjoyed was the use of singing, it felt a lot better woven in that in London Tide. I agree that Yosser (if that’s how you spell it) was a particularly strong performance.
I remembered this from growing up to the tv series, saw it at the National a few weeks ago, I thought some of the set movement was unnecessary and temporarily took me out of the play, I agree that the death scene brings an emotional impact and connection, the comedic scene brilliantly on point, it was good but not great, prescient to today as it was in the 80’s in the disparity of mental health and wealth inequality.

I’m glad you liked my review. You’re right about the songs- I wish I’d said a bit more about them.

Yes, too busy. I think it would have worked better if the play had centered on Yosser and, say, Chrissie.
