I remember these dark days very well but the attitudes to prostitution and the open and virulent misogyny is still shocking to see through our modern eyes. However to the show, this is incredibly well acted, well written and superbly directed. The time setting furniture, the fashions and the speech is dead on, so accurate to bring back childhood memories. Each actor takes his or her part, and yet without doing an impression of the character that they respectively play, still managed to portray an accurate version of them in that space and time, David Morrisey and Toby Jones make their characters come to life in a fashion that you remember them as if it was yesterday, Morrisey in particular looks remarkably like George Oldfield. If there are no awards handed out to everyone in this show then there's no justice.
