The Sienna Effect!

Flare Path @ Theatre Royal Haymarket

The verdict: Terence Rattigan's centenary brought two of his plays on to the London stages simultaneously (the other being his last work Cause Celebre @ the Old Vic). Flare Path features strong ensemble cast, a slow-burning, yet ultimately moving play which pays tribute to the collective spirit of wartime bomber crews and their partners. And yes, I do have a soft spot for Sienna Miller!
★★★★
