Some remorselessly petty quibbles with West End shows

Exeunt Magazine: It feels like an itch, like a nagging flea in your plushy red theatre seat. That pedantic voice in your head that says “Really?” or “How?” or “I very much doubt it!” And yes, the secret to enjoying big budget theatrical spectacles is to get swept along on a wave of deliberately suspended disbelief as the plot takes implausible turn after turn. But sometimes it’s fun to let that inner voice roar. In this piece, Exeunt’s writers give vent to the quibbles that have been eating away at them.
