The Roaring Girl

Back from the RSC version.

I enjoyed it immensely, but then again, I'm pretty much the target audience ;)

It was fun, and even if you can see why the authors threw in the line about the plot being wafer-thin (not those words) sometimes, like with ice-cream, wafers are just what you need. I also liked that it was a comedy in both sense of the word, and that everyone got a happy ending, not just the good guys. The people who wanted to get married got married, the people that didn't want to get married didn't, marital discord was ending, various transgressions were forgiven and all parties were reconciled. It's just so happy.

I'm also struggling valiantly not to make a roaring success joke.
