| Description |
Haxby's Circus is a very good novel, but it doesn't have the makings of a good play. The production was still in some disarray on opening night, a sign of the technical complexities of staging a circus/theatre production that tries very hard to be spectacular but never achevies the sweaty breathless wonder of true circus |
