I wish there was a way to timetravel and get a chance to see the play. I'm not even from the UK, unfortunately...

Saw this in 1989 Sir Peter Hall directed it had two amazing actors Julie Covington as Carol Cultree and Vanessa Redgrave as Lady. Julie stole the show, which considering who the star was Vanessa she was amazing.
