There's not really much more to say than to bid a fond farewell to
this most beloved of shows. Despite the fierce love it engendered in its devoted fans, I personally don't think a transfer would have necessarily worked so well. There's something wonderfully neat about its life at the Lyttelton, the length and nature of its run in rep meaning that Rosalie Craig was able to make every single performance - an impressive feat even before one touches on the extraordinary demands of the lead role. And getting to see the final show, with a large group of people who had been equally (if not more) touched by the work - and that includes the extraordinary cast and company, I don't think I've ever seen so much visible emotion at the end of a run - was a genuine privilege.
