Review: THE SNAIL HOUSE at The Hampstead Theatre

During the birthday party organised to celebrate a knighthood which has been bestowed upon him in recognition of his professional achievements during the pandemic, Sir Neil Marriot finds himself forced to confront the character flaws which continue to cause pain and irritation to his long-suffering wife, son and daughter. In a bizarre twist, a member of the contract catering team recognises the newly conferred knight as the very man whose complacent, over-confident medical testimony years earlier, resulted in a life-ruining miscarriage of justice against her. She sees her chance to press for an admission he got it wrong and an apology. But is the infallible Sir Neil, even capable of such exacting reflection?
