saw the play last nights. seats thru Goldstar were in the last row, center section. it's a small venue, so sight lines were very good. Enjoyed the play. it's a lighthearted, frothy British comedy. Very strong acting. would recommend.

Excellent performance by all actors of classic Noel Coward play, with witty dialogue, engaging but rather unbelievable plot line, plenty of laughs, elegant costumes, very workable sets. Section E is fine....brought our own chairs and blankets, and wore warm clothing in layers and were comfortable enough, but maybe winter jacket next time in case the fog rolls in. The poor actresses must have been quite chilly. Easy to hear the dialogue from back row. 2 intermissions. Highly recommend seeing it.
