The Crown Jewels review
It must have seemed like the perfect comedy idea - one of the great heist stories of history, some royal treasures, a wily master criminal with a real name better than any fiction could create and one of history's bawdiest monarchs - but it has all gone wrong for Simon Nye. Like its protagonist Captain Blood, the plan for the Garrick Theatre's summer show flounders and The Crown Jewels fails to cart off the goods, leaving the audience trapped in its towering nonsense.
