REVIEW: The Broken Heart, Sam Wanamaker Theatre ✭✭

The Broken Heart at the Sam Wanamker Playhouse

To consider The Broken Heart as a soap opera is to fundamentally misconceive it. The author seemed clear enough that it was a tragedy and the text certainly sounds like a tragedy. The cast are not the problem. Each and every one attacks the play with verve and in the style chosen by director Chridtine Steinbeis. That the attack is misconceived is not down to them.
