The upstairs theatre of the Lion and Unicorn pub, near Camden, is not where you expect to find one of the funniest and smartest nights of theatre in London. But for one week, God Save Us! turned that little room into a medieval English town, and it never stopped being hilarious.

There was not a dry eye in the house at the press night of The Pianist at Park Theatre. I was invited, and I went expecting a good evening of theatre, but I left feeling something like grief, mixed with responsibility.
