Small Change by Peter Gill

First visit to the Donmar Warehouse for quite a few years to see the very first night of their newest production - Small Change, by Peter Gill.

The story of two mothers and two sons with the inevitable often conflicting themes of childhood, marriage, boredom, frustration, homosexuality and the "unsaid".

Sue Johnstone, whose decade in Brookside and amazing performances in the Royal Family and too many TV productions to mention gives the evening focus and purpose. Her confidence and experience add authority to an otherwise slightly light evening.

There are few surprises and a sense of "these themes have been tackled so many times that nothing new has really been added here" but Johnstone's immense talent redeem the journey home.
