Waiting For God review

The piece has been constructed from a selection of plots from the original television series, I recognised the stories that were used. However you don't need to have seen the television series to be able to enjoy this production.

Waiting For God - New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich

McAuliffe and Holland are consummate veteran actors and Aitken can clearly write razor-sharp dialogue. It's just a shame these qualities are being squandered in such an unimaginative re-hash.

Waiting for God review

The main comedy though is firmly in the dialogue, very slick, very quick and very funny. Aitkens has now achieved an age to appreciate the problems and perhaps put a more personal slant on the writing.
