A play performed at the Theatre Royal, Windsor, by Ian McKellen and Roger Allam, who are of course both terrific. (It's a two hander.) A chance encounter dog walking leads unexpectedly to love.
Directed by Sean Mathias.
I saw the two interviewed on Lorraine and the normally shy Allam was in much more relaxed form with his pal alongside - and it comes through in the play, which touches on AIDS, cancer, and dog food. It has wonderfully sweet moments but isn't sugary.
I think my favorite moment is when McKellen, who's been teasing Allam about his dog's overweight. says it isn't 'agile enough' to catch a squirrel, and Roger very slowly turns to him...
