Mini-review – Versailles – Donmar Warehouse

Me (at first interval): Well, how are you finding it?

Him: It’s interesting. I wonder where they’re going to go with it?

Me: It feels to me like the leftovers between the interesting scenes of a minor Merchant Ivory film.

Him: Of course, if the whole point is revealing he’s gay, then it’s not very interesting, is it? I wonder what the conflict is?

Me: Do you stay through the second act, or cut your losses and leave at the first?

(We left at the second. By that time he was bored as well.)
