The Priory: press night tonight
While press night for The Priory is tonight, The Westend Whingers posted another of their wonderfully amusing reviews after seeing it last night. They have long memories about seeing Joseph's bare feet in Every Good Boy Deserves Favour...
It’s amusing at times but Phil found the first act fairly underwhelming though the shortcomings are compensated for by a truly excellent cast. Hynes (or Stevenson as she was; she of the very brilliant Spaced) seems to have shied away from doing comedy of late (we don’t count the deeply unfunny Ayckbourn nonsense as comedy) so it was a welcome chance to see her exercise her skills in the play’s lighter moments. Millson (very good as a gay) and Penry-Jones are convincing and Charotte Riley (girlfriend to Tom Hardy who was in the audience) makes the best of a (mainly) 2D stupid new girlfriend role...
...The Royal Court is on something of a roll at the moment as their Evening Standard Theatre awards sweep testifies. The Priory may not be quite in the same league but with a cast as solid as this, who cares?
Rex Features have added lots of images from the play.
