Sir, – I went to see Anglo: The Musical at the weekend. The theatre was not very full. There was laughter all around me. At the interval I said to my partner “This is not a comedy. This is a tragedy.” I left the theatre filled with despair, which turned to anger – an urge to set up a guillotine on O’Connell Street – but then I had a hot whiskey and sank back into complacency.
How Irish of me, I thought, pondering on how easily I just slipped back into line. – Yours, etc,
