REVIEW: Weald, Finborough Theatre ✭✭✭✭
Weald is a very satisfying play, a compelling examination of the impact that changing circumstances may have on our sense of self.

The two excellent central performances, coupled with Daniel Foxsmith’s intelligent script, makes for an enriching theatrical experience.
