Production

The play made its world premiere at the Hampstead Theatre, London on 6 September 2017 where it ran until 14 October. The production was directed by Johnson and starred Robert Lindsay as Jack Cardiff and Claire Skinner as Nicola/Katie.[1] It received four-starred reviews in The Independent[2] and in The Guardian, whose reviewer Michael Billington described Lindsay's performance as "riveting".[3]
