"This is an exceptionally well crafted, downright hilarious character piece as we meet the flamoyantly pretentious Anna Mann as she comes to the end of her life - "Don't you go, or I will"
The character retells her life story as an actress with a rather interesting career - Helen Mirren stole all the good parts you see - and her torrid love affairs and husbands and Mann has an impeccable gag rate whilst having sly banter with the audience along the way. Hoult doesn't hide the fact that it's a man playing the character and as the show goes on it twists into a somewhat Inception-style story within a story as it even links into mental health. That's not to say that it doesn't lose the humour along the way as the audience were in tears of laughter last night - well apart from one guy - "He hasn't laughed once."
The show still has a cheeky laugh at pretentious storytelling but even still manages depths of melancholy for our fictional heroine, I think it's because we've all fell in love with her before the hour is out. Fantastic show, see it if you can!"
