Rory Mullarkey’s new play didn’t sound like a hot-ticket. Firstly, it’s on at the Royal Court, which has oddly dwindled as a new writing powerhouse. Furthermore, Mullarkey’s CV is patchy: his satirical epic Saint George and the Dragon, while having redeeming features, was a memorable flop in an annus mediocris for the National in 2017 (his Pity at the Royal Court a year later, crossing the zest of Monty Python with civic unrest, impressed me more, but didn’t find much critical favour).
