Advantages: Crudup's surprising and engaging performance Disadvantages: rather predictable fare
Maybe it’s because I was less than complimentary about Billy Crudup’s rather functional perfomance in Big Fish, or perhaps I was just in a sentimental mood as I settled down to watch this theatrical little tale, but I left it rather moved.

Director Richard Eyre is best known as an award-winning theatre director, so who better to direct a film about the theatre? He and screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher (adapting his own stage play) interweave fact and fiction. Ned Kynaston was a Restoration-era star and Margaret (Maria) Hughes was the first woman on the stage.
