      The reviews of that play are mixed but I'm a fan of Seamus Heaney. Was it any good? The reviews say that the singing of lines may have been a bit over the top and scattered.

      It was a bit more challenging than more traditional works - but overall I would say it was quite good. For one - it was just 90 minutes, with no intermission. But it had a good narrative, artistic set design, and the singing worked well.

      The most challenging work I've seen there was "Texts for Nothing" (Beckett). I hated it so much I left in the middle of the show, and wrote an angry note to the Rep (coincidentally, also a play where the set was a big mountain of dirt!).
