Review: STRAIGHT LINE CRAZY at the Bridge Theatre

Ordinarily, the winning combination of a new David Hare play with the presence of a bona fide movie star like Ralph Fiennes assuming its lead role, would set pulses racing and box office tills ringing. But whilst the run may have virtually sold-out before it opened due to the star’s cachet, the piece is something of a didactic dirge with only momentary flashes of levity and pathos. It’s a far cry from the playwright’s heady power-output of “Racing Demon”, “Amy’s View”, “Plenty” and “Pravda”, which now feel like very distant successes by comparison.
