Review: THE FALL at The Royal Court
By Phil Willmott Thursday, October 5 2017, 09:04
On paper The Fall sounds like worthy issue based theatre which you'd attend out of duty rather than look forward to.
Actually it turns out to be a funny, tuneful, inspiring, thought provoking and deeply satisfying 80 minutes of great theatre.
