... casting-misstep-exception to it all is Eccleston... he just does not work-fit-in along w-either of these two women... w/o him in with-them is one feeling, then he comes onscreen and entire dynamic changes instantly... wrong for the part, his acting wrong for the character... in other productions he's been above average... this performance-role here just misses-the-mark-entirely... having-requiring-asking is it the-actor or the-direction that's amiss
... ending's especially messy, script and acting dropping the production down at least another notch possibly two... stars being-as EP's not always valuable to the work.
