There is situation and character as well of course and in all of them, at times, the action borders on farce. In farce the characters are generally unreal, exaggerated and often stereotypes.

Lizzy Connolly has been directed to play this character as if she was in a pantomime with grossly exaggerated gestures and a comic cuts upper-class voice and braying laugh.

She trips around the stage as if the play is a Monty Python sketch. But that sets the tone for the rest of the play.

The key role of Garry Essendine is played by Rufus Hound who unusually is the right age for the part approaching 40 — it is an interesting casting.

His brief acting career on his CV looks unpromising for the subtleties of Coward and he does not have matinee idol looks or physique.

I have a feeling that despite this under more intelligent and sympathetic direction he might be able to play Essendine quite well.

That we will never know. As it is he shouts and pratfalls his way through the role as if he was a character in pantomime at a third rate provincial theatre.

To be fair in the relatively calmer seduction scene with Joanna Lucy Briggs-Owen he impresses suggesting there is more to him than the loud and boorish style the rest of his performance offers.

I wonder what these excellent three actresses felt about finding themselves in such a dumbed-down production. Both Foley and Hound profess admiration for Noel Coward and for the play.

Not to turn it into a Whitehall farce. Frances Gray. The gentle world of "Gary Williams at the Movies". Gary Williams has a fine reputation as a distinctive interpreter of the Great American Songbook in a relaxed jazz idiom.

Not all are standards — a number were new to me — but all in his hands appeal. This is in a way a crossover album — we are on the cusp of jazz and popular music throughout.

Some of the fine arrangements are heavily jazz inspired others owe more to Nelson Riddle or Billy May though there are no lush strings!

The arrangements and Williams distinctive vocal style give these classics new life. His voice is never strained - always laid back.

The Band is exceptional with Graeme Blevins slinky Sax perhaps the highlight! The balance is good throughout — the band never obscures the singer but it is not in the background — some clever sound engineering here.

Jermyn Street Theatre 16 th May The grotesque idea that you can judge people and divide them by their value to society and discriminate accordingly — as expressed recently by Conservative ex Minister Iain Duncan Smith with his we need fewer "low-value, low-skilled people" remarks — was at the core of the malignant philosophy of Adolf Hitler and was to lead to the Holocaust - the greatest crime the world has ever known.

But Hitler followed Goebbels advice and the systematic murder was stopped. Von Beginn an hatte Paddy aber immer eine besondere Leidenschaft für Motorräder und deren Umbauten, da sie selber auch leidenschaftlich gerne Motorrad fährt und umbaut.

Gerne in der Szene unterwegs, sprach sich bald rum, dass sie ein Auge für Umbauten, Aufbauten und Restaurierungen aller Arten von Motorrädern hat.
