Sometimes I go outside and look at our kitchen drain. Where there should be a vortex there’s a largely static pool. Tree roots have recently grown through the old pipes, their clumps colonised with fat, dog hair and coleslaw bits, and though a bit of handpumping will shift some of the stale water for a while, it really needs systemic attention from Dyno-rod. A good Dyno-rodding is what Chichester’s new production of Noel Coward’s The Vortex needs too.
Daniel Raggett's production of Accidental Death of An Anarchist will transfer to the West End, following a critically acclaimed, sell out season at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.
The hit production moves into central London
