The state of British theatre: Alive and well in Parliament, the Theatre of State
[with emendations]
Yesterday in Great Britain there was a three hour production that had elements of an open-mic comedy club and a celebrity roast, but by all accounts, was riveting theatre. The production was not performed at the Royal National Theatre or Covent Garden, but rather “off Broadway”
