Travelling Light, Lyttelton, NT, London

Posted: January 19th, 2012, 11:27am EST

pNicholas Wright is one of my favourite dramatists.

This reminds me a little of the relationship between Simon Russell Beale and his roles. It is furthermore wonderful that, at seventy one, Wright seems to be more productive than ever. So how to account for the mis-step that is his latest play, Travelling Light, premiered now at the Lyttelton in a nothing-if-not-charming production by Nicholas Hytner. /p
