Jeffrey Archer Watch: Theatre

ralph_nickleby.jpgJeffrey's been to the theatre this week, and had this to say:
Pantomime villains can often over-play the role, but he gave a beautifully understated performance of a thoroughly evil and unpleasant man.

A sudden bout of self-appraisal, perhaps? Alas no: a reference to Ralph Nickleby, the bad guy in Nicholas Nickleby, the play Archer has been to see. He continues with this helpful advice for theatregoers planning to make the trip to Chichester to see it:

It's not compulsory to see both parts or even both on the same day, but you would be wise to see Part I before Part II.

Politician, fund-raiser, athlete, writer and now literary critic! Do his talents never start?
