Theatre critics don’t often write plays, but Evening Standard reviewer Nicholas de Jongh’s play about Sir John Gielgud’s brush with the law (he was caught cottaging in 1953) has made it to the West End. While the writing is competent rather than inspired, De Jongh offers an interesting account of an era when even private acts of gay sex could result in criminal prosecution.
Duchess Theatre, Catherine St, WC2B 5LA Covent Garden (0844 579 1973). Until May 2. From £26
