I guess that goes straight to the point. You failed to say who directed this- “dreadful.”

I have to admit I was a little leery of the concept – but that one word was enough to make me swap tickets to a different show! Shame to see Stratford continue to feel the comedies in the Festival can’t stand on their own merit.
