New production of Another Country

And very good it looks, too. So easy to forget how many people started to come to prominence in this play - Kenny, Rupert, Colin et al. I'd have loved to see the 1981 production.

Do scroll down and read the Daily Mail's typically dim opinion. That rag sounds increasingly like a pastiche of itself.

I saw it on the West End in 1983. Does that count?

It does indeed. Am dead jealous. Daniel Day Lewis?

No, James Newall was playing Tommy Judd by the time I saw it. We wrote to each other for years, because we met after the show and found out that we were sort of cousins, since we were both members of the Farquharson clan.

Oh, and there was a young man playing Guy Bennett then...what was his name? Colin Firth? (Yes, THAT Colin Firth. He would have been twenty-two going on twenty-three that summer. And he was brilliant and funny and heartbreaking.)

That's wonderful, all round!
