Ring Round the Moon
“Watching Anouilh’s RING ROUND THE MOON is like consuming a light soufflé in which someone has secreted bits of razor blade. Both its gossamer texture and its astringency are honoured in the barbed elegance of Sean Mathias’s entertaining revival at the Playhouse.” – Paul Taylor, The Independent 21st February 2008
