A quite brilliantly adapted and directed performance of a play that has been making audiences laugh , and directors getting shot , as happen to one by Stalin during 1940 , for over a 170 years.
The supreme quality of this play is that is captures universal Human traits.
The play has a unique place in the cannon of the dramatic arts as it was the first expression of a trend in which there is no specific central love interest and there are no heroic virtuous characters.
This is why the brilliant direction of Gerry Mulgrew can have individuals playing with familiar regional dialects , like the geordie one of the health commissioner , to give the audience more ownership of the sentiments of the play yet be still true to the ageless universality of the greedy power lust of the characters portrayed.
