Theatre review: Red Letter

The enthusiastic applause at the end of this appalling farrago was purely from the audience's relief that its ordeal was finally over.

Venue: theSpace @ Surgeons Hall

This abysmal Cockney gangster family drama surely features some of the worst acting ever to disgrace a stage and, if anything, the flat, clichéd script is even worse. At one point one of the hapless actresses dried, but it was tempting to think she had realised how utterly ridiculous this whole shambles was and was trying to stifle her giggles – much as the audience were.
