To give you an insight into the play - and its origins - here's a blog written by my sister, the playwright Lucy Kaufman. Hopefully the people of Sydenham will come along in their droves to support this landmark production for the area!

Have just been to see this. Excellent play (although the second act dragged a bit), excellently acted and directed, which I can thoroughly recommend. The central Marx/Aveling relationship is very convincing portrayed, with some fine dialogue. Don't miss it.

+1. I thought the second act was a bit baggy too, but overall it was highly enjoyable. Some excellent performances. Great that the space is being used. only gripe was the horribly uncomfortable seating.
