Title

Dangerous to Know - Newspaper Review, 1998

Date

30 June 1998

Description

Nottingham Evening Post theatre review of Dangerous to Know, the stage adaptation of the novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford.

What's the story?

From the mid-1990s Jeremy Lewis was the regular theatre reviewer for the Nottingham Evening Post, the main newspaper for the city.
In this review of Dangerous to Know at the Theatre Royal in June 1998, Jeremy provides a typical witty review.
With the review’s strapline of ‘Nice Performances, Shame About the Overload …’ Jeremy states that the show is rather heavy on the exposition, especially in the first half.
Designer Simon Higlett’s set is described as “all encased in mahogany”, with Jeremy adding, “there is a similarly wooden feel to the proceedings”.
