We enjoyed the show with some reservations – we felt the leading man lacked sufficient personality 9but he was a stand-in) and the Amara Okereke’s voice a bit shrill. But -the sets and the ensemble were all really good and we thought Sally-Anne Triplett as Marge was excellent.
Thanks, as always, for organising the evening. All best wishes. Linda

Apparently ‘Jerry’ was the understudy as the main lead was indisposed. He had reason to be nervous but acquitted himself well.

A delightful post-Christmas show that entertained from the very start and had my feet tapping to those nostalgic Irving Berlin songs and music, with mesmerising dance routines played out on a clever art deco set. Witty, comical, colourful costumes with brilliant acting from a strong cast. Although I did feel that ‘Jerry’ looked slightly nervous during the dance routines when he was required to throw and catch his cane but he did it with aplomb. It was an evening that captured a bygone age beautifully and I came away with that feel-good feeling. Thank you Fredo and Mike for a jolly good evening of entertainment.

A very funny and enjoyable evening. The cast were so believable drawing you into late Victorian north of England and their interaction was delightful. An excellent and fun production.

What a hilarious and delightful Donmar evening. Brilliantly performed with impeccable timing and well staged. We were interested to compare the study of marital relationships with ‘Fallen Angels’ seen the previous week, the gentlemen did not come out so well in either! Thanks, as ever, to Fredo and Mike.

When We were Married – what a delight to see such a delightful play full of wit and humour. It was great to see such a talented cast of older actors showcasing their ability, particularly Ron Cook who has been performing for nearly 40 years. Their timing was amazing and some of the responses rivalled ‘a handbag’ in my opinion. I particularly enjoyed Mrs Northrop, it must have been great fun playing her part. A lovely Christmas present, thank you Fredo

As soon as Mrs Northrop took to the stage it set it up for the rest of the play, which was hilarious. All the characters are beautifully drawn and well acted which made for a very successful production, well done Tim Sheader. Donmar has done it again.
As always good to see you both, Mike and Fredo and hope all goes well for your final day tomorrow Fredo.

I love this play. Of course it starts with a great text , with humorous dialogue and great characters. Priestley’s ear for dialogue really captures the expressions of his native Yorkshire. Then Tim Sheader brings the play to life on a very smart Donmar stage. All the cast are wonderful. I really don’t want to single one out from a real ensemble performance. With the outside world such a worrying place this production brought real escapist joy and a special Christmas treat. A bonus was seeing old friends on the coach and having Fredo with us on the journey home.

What a treat was in store for us! Thought it would be and I was right. From start to finish every member of this great cast made it such an enjoyable performance and, once again, the intimacy of the Donmar made me feel as I was there in the room with them! Thanks Fredo and Mike.

A lovely evening’s entertainment with a great cast, including many favourites such as Siobhan Finneran, Sophie Thompson and Ron Cook. But I recognised the handsome John Hodgkinson from having taken over from SR Beale as Titus Andronicus earlier at Hampstead, earlier in the year. An actor with immense stage presence. New to us were Janice Connolly as the hilarious Mrs Northrop; her musical contributions put everyone into a merry mood. But the whole cast played together well – and at speed since the director, Tim Shead, kept things going at a fair old pace. Ron Cook is almost the star of the show, who can keep his comic timing and knockabout business with ease, can sometimes hint at sadness beneath the surface of his character. He is immaculate. The plot, of course, is as silly as was Fallen Angels, but who cares. It was the acting and direction that gave such pleasure. BUT do we believe that the couples will now remain happy ever after? I particularly doubt the future of poor Annie and the truly dreadful Albert, and the future of Herbert with the very funny but shrewish Clara. Will those who need to make amends for past behaviour change their spots so quickly?

What spiffing fun! We enjoyed every minute of this play. Such a fabulous cast, the costumes, the set and the maid – how wonderful was she! As I didn’t know the play too well, I did suspect we may never see Maurice, but he finally made his entrance and we were treated to a silly, but fabulous ending.
Thanks Guys, for an evening of sublime entertainment.

On a dismal night this was ideal entertainment; one can discard any discussion of the play. It’s a piece of froth – but what froth. Champagne has fizz and this gorgeous production produced a lot of that. The set and costumes (and hair) were a treat. As someone once said “everybody ought to have a maid” and the show opens with such a creature, the delectable Saunders merrily played by Sarah Twomey, who continued to provide hilarity for scene change antics on top of her actual role in the play. I did NOT buy a programme but the picture of Ms Twomey on the Menier website looks nothing like the actor we saw (any comments?) The play is almost a two-hander with the divine Janie Dee and Alexandra Glbreath working everything up into giddy climaxes, especially the inebriated supper. They both delivered a hilarious display of comic timing, and Dee, especially, moves round the stage looking gorgeous in her lovely costumes. The men, poor souls, have nothing much to do beyond waiting in the wings. A hoot of an evening, I’d say.

Over one hundred years old and standing the test of time. What a production; the beautifully written hilarious and perceptive script was faultlessly delivered with energy and great comic timing in a well staged production. A hugely entertaining night out with such talented actors.

What an experience! At one stage, I was beginning to think that I was watching a foetal version of Waiting for Godot, but then the Godot turned up, bow tie and all, and that was that. The pleasures of the evening lay less in the tissue-thin story-line than in the stunning performances and the very smart Wodehouse-inspired production. Absolutely immaculate, from the handsome set, the entertaining costumes, to the actors’ energy, pitch-perfect timing and vivid characterisations. Not exactly cutting-edge British dramatic writing for today’s audiences perhaps, but a superb example of how to take comedy seriously.

Christopher Luscome’s production of this Noel Coward play was perfectly set in an art deco 1920’s flat complete with baby grand piano. Julia and Jane, beautifully dressed for that period and the best of friends for many years, began to see the cracks in their marriages and lusted after a long lost beau, Maurice. Becoming increasingly inebriated over dinner, served by perfect in every way, Saunders (what couldn’t she do? Fluent French, pianist, singer, dancer), they imagined being with Maurice. It was a light hearted, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable play with plenty to laugh about. Those who missed it, missed a treat! Great to see Fredo and Mike too, thank you both.
