i ADORE this play and unfortunately only got to listen to half of it as i was @ work.
the half i listened to was really good but off putting. It didn't match the tone and style i give it when reading it myself, Bill Nighy was a little too dead pan and Helena Bonham Carter was a little too excited.
i'm still disappointed that i missed Lindsay Duncan and Alan Rickman as Amanda and Elyot.
they performed it in the wrong decade,... the 'noughties' would have been far more convenient for me.
the next to take on the role is Matthew MacFadyen (lovely but perhaps not sarcastic enough)
and Kim Cattrall (ummm dubious choice, she comes across as a bit dominating in her roles and I always saw Amanda and Elyot as equals of the same part).
Should I go see it and forever ruin my perfect image of a play i already have in my head ?
