Having read this reviewers previous reviews, this one was all too predictable. I have seen every show this person has reviewed and have not agreed a single time, which is fine. What is not fine is for a reviewer to not mention anything but the plot and the actors. A production is put on by many people and the constant ignoring of those people in Julia Lloyd George’s reviews is insulting and frankly amateur. Productions have sets, costumes, lighting, sound design and a director. Yay or nay, they should be mentioned as the reviewer would be reviewing nothing without them. I enjoyed this play very much (although that is neither here nor there) and while this review is on par with her others, in which she always finds something to criticize (did she learn that in critic school?) no matter how much she seems to enjoy aspects of each, I find the not mentioning the creative teams to be both irritating and unacceptable in a critic.
