One of the shows problems (and there were so many!) was that the production was far too big for the story.
It would probably work so much better as a small scale musical anyway.
On the other hand, I just wish it would get produced as a straight play, as it was written for the BBC originally.
When the BBC broadcast it as one of its 'Play For Today' presentations way back in 1977, it was one of their biggest audiences at the time.
I remember being fascinated by the TV screening and writing to the Beeb asking for a script- 3 weeks later they delivered- i still have it today!
