A typical American theatergoer might not appreciate the historical underpinnings of the Suez Canal Crisis, the genesis for jokes involving the coldness of Margaret Thatcher and the political ineptitude of John Major. This is definitely a play written by a Brit for the Brits.
But it speaks to both the quality of the script, and the actors the Vintage has brought in, that even those without a degree in British history or a picture of the Queen Mother on their wall will find this show enjoyable.
