Oh Dear



Meagre fare at the second production in the Swansea Grand's Summer Season. Good enough acting is let down by a poor play not sure if it's a farce or a sentimental tear-jerker. Actually it looks like a staged version of a third-rate 1970s sit-com.

People think actors who played significant parts on telly in times gone by live in Cannes and top up the bank account with fees from repeats on Dave but I can reveal that they are in fact treading the boards for modest pay in provincial rep. Somebody should give them a decent play to perform like a Noel Coward.
