The last days of The Last Days
Fiona McCann
The spangly new Abbey website has alerted me to the fact that I have only three days left to catch Tom Murphy’s The Last Days of a Reluctant Tyrant. Bearing in mind that I am attending a five and a half hour production of Heart of Darkness tomorrow evening at The Joinery, should I also give up the subsequent evening to the Abbey production, or is that just asking for trouble? I wouldn’t want to be hearing all year about how I missed out (which is what happened with The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. Bring it back, I say!). Well? Fintan says Yay, but isn’t that a sort of a Nay from Peter? Anyone else like to chip in?
