The problem with nostalgia is that you have to judge perfectly whether it carries the same sense of perfection that Time has alluded to in your memory. There are few greater regrets than the one that is pushed forward by the emotion of fear, that the trepidation of losing something that has united a country in dark times can somehow lose its meaning when restored.

The Pride, Theatre Review. Trafalgar Studios, London.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Hayley Atwell, Harry Hadden-Paton, Mathew Horne, Al Weaver.

Occasionally a play grabs you by the hand and takes you to places that you never thought you would ever see performed on stage, such was the power of Alexi Kaye Campbell’s writing and the absolute conviction of Hayley Atwell, Harry Hadden-Paton, Mathew Horne and Al Weaver’s performances and the nature of the subject made The Pride compelling, forceful and required watching.
