We want fun at the theatre

The Independent: "Up here in the provinces (Manchester in my case) we have had the benefit of seeing the new production of Alan Bennett's long-lost play Enjoy in its cut-down and much improved version, starring Alison Steadman and David Troughton, so we know what all the fuss is about. It's revealing, though, that in London the play has taken £1m in advance bookings before it has even opened. Such is the power of reputation."
