My overall impression

So full of bawdy wit, Bella Merlin’s piece cleverly reflects the fascinating subject and the era. The language is delicious, her performance is charming and well-paced, the stage is well-used, the costumes are simple yet sumptuous. It’s a real treat for history buffs, theatre nerds and anglophiles; a smart, tight, and well-crafted show overall!
