Sitting In The Cheap Seats

I’ve gone on record previously saying that Guys and Dolls is my favourite musical, in fact for me it’s about as close to perfection as I’ve heard from a musical! I loved this production in Chichester so was excited to see it head to Southampton’s Mayflower theatre.

There is a stark, depressing, inevitability to Henrik Ibsen ’s An Enemy Of The People . He rather masterfully makes us believe that one man can make a difference if he is morally right before pulling a 180 degree turn by introducing money into the decision making process of his characters. It is perhaps a more striking play given the current political climate and a timely piece for  Chichester Festival Theatre to put on.
