Meal beforehand in famous fish and chip shop with a surly waitress but great fish and chips. It was funny when Richard looked horrified that Seal was on the menu. The chef was actually half way through writing Seabass.

Play was good. Older lady and son were good. Old chap from ever decreasing circles was quite hammy. His accent kept going back to an english gent and he was just a bit awqward. Girl from the goonies was good, although the plot twist was a bit predictable. From the moment we knew the missing son was never found and his stuff found on a ship I thought something was up.

Good seats - we were upgraded due to the tube strike! God rest Bob Crowe.
