REVIEW: Stephen Ward, Aldwych Theatre ✭

Stephen Ward

The piece has no idea what it is doing: it does not tell any story well or with feeling. You know as much about Stephen Ward and his part in the Profumo scandal when the final curtain falls as you do when the opening notes sound in the orchestra.
