This play by David Hare is the first of our subscription series for 2008. Mk and I saw it tonight at the Drama Theatre in the Opera House.Victoria Longley (pictured) plays an American academic and former war correspondent visiting England with her boyfriend and sparring with his father over Iraq, US foreign policy, love and relationships. A witty text and a powerful performance from Longley were the standouts in this production.
The play's title is said to be a phrase in combat medicine referring to that moment when you can be of most help in aiding an injured individual. The audience can determine whether the characters have been of help to each other.
