Be curious if anyone who saw the 2011 Broadway production (regrettably I missed it by a week) will also be seeing this and can compare. This production in London is in the round and rather bare bones - same director as the Staunton Follies. I loved it, some interesting inclusive casting of people who have disabilities and a great leading performance from Ben Daniels. I can't help but feel it might have been a little more intense in the 2011 Broadway production being in NYC with that stunning American cast. The group of youngish gays I was with all seemed to prefer "The Inheritance", which I can understand probably speaks more to current times - but I personally think the context of this play being written and performed right in the thick of the crisis as well as being based on real events makes it the most special AIDS-related piece of art I am aware of.
