| 80% : Charming and Delightful | ||
Review : The best thing I have seen in ages, every single member of the cast gave a truly inspired performance. They really brought out the magic in the witty and clever writing. Impressive use of a set consisting of just two trees a grass field and a large wooden box. The only fault was that it din't go on long enoug, they cut it down to 90 minutes; when they cut have had it longer and with n interval to give us chance to eat our picnic.
| plot : miss understandings, mistaken identity, cross dressing the normal stuff
