Featured review
Brilliant then and now
The saga of a group of no-hopers trying to do The Knowledge to become London black cab drivers is witty, poignant and hilarious. I did the trip from Manor House Station to Gibson Square when I visited London a few years after this came out, just because. Never mind if you're not a Londoner or even English - I'm not, and that didn't hurt my understanding or enjoyment of the play at all.
